Northampton Press
The Northampton Press is committed to reprinting some of the finest Christian literature ever published, with a focus on the 17th and 18th century English and American Puritans. There are literally thousands of books from that period that were not reprinted after their initial publication, titles that honor Christ, exalt God, and call believers to live lives that are worthy of Him and pleasing to Him.

The Christian on the mount
ISBN: 9780979857966
Author: Thomas Watson
It is unfortunate that the word “meditation” today conjures up New Age mysticism or self-contemplation. For the Puritans, it was the discipline of thinking deeply about God and His Word. To quote the author, meditation “is a holy exercise of the mind whereby we bring the truths of God to remembrance, and do seriously ponder upon them and apply them to ourselves.”

The distinguishing traits of Christian character
ISBN: 9780979857980
Author: Gardiner Spring
There are certain marks that only a true believer in Jesus Christ possesses, and there are marks that do not prove a man to be in Christ at all. Yet all of these signs are religious in nature. In this important work, first published in 1813, the author shows which signs distinguish a true Christian and which do not. These include both internal and external marks.

Heaven taken by storm
ISBN: 9780979857935
Author: Thomas Watson
Many today believe that the Christian life is rather easy to both obtain and live. But the Puritans saw it as warfare, as wrestling, as “holy violence,” to use their term. The Apostle Paul spoke of beating his own body into subjection.

Saving faith
ISBN: 9780979857942
Author: John Colquhoun
Scripture says that there are two kinds of faith, saving and non-saving. So how can a person know if he has the faith that saves? This is what the great Scottish preacher John Colquhoun addresses in this scarce title that has been out of print since 1824.
