Richard Baxter was the outstanding pastor of Kidderminster. Dying Thoughts is his expostion of Paul’s words in Philippians 1:23, ‘For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better.’ In this book we see him wrestling with his own doubts and fears as he faces eternity, jealously examining his own heart, anxious to test his own sincerity, taking nothing for granted. Much needed counsel, strength and comfort can be drawn from these pages as Baxter, a man of like passions as we, deals with the same conflicts, complaints and desires which fill our own hearts.
