A powerful Puritan classic that lifts the believer’s eyes toward heaven and eternal glory.
Originally written in 1649 during a time of serious illness, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest is Richard Baxter’s heartfelt meditation on the eternal joy awaiting God’s people in heaven. Facing the prospect of death, Baxter penned this timeless devotional to prepare himself—and others—for eternity, offering a rich theological reflection on heaven as the final home of the saints.
This influential work has stirred the hearts of generations of Christians, calling them to cultivate a deeper love for Christ and a longing for the rest that remains for God’s people. Condensed from the original 844 pages to a more accessible format in later editions, the core message remains: true rest is found not in this world, but in the eternal presence of God.
Baxter’s writing encourages thoughtful meditation, spiritual self-examination, and disciplined focus on the heavenly reward. A masterful combination of theology, pastoral care, and devotion, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest is essential reading for anyone seeking to renew their hope, strengthen their faith, and set their mind on things above.

Richard Baxter (1615–1691) was an English Puritan church leader, poet, hymn-writer, theologian, and controversialist. Dean Stanley called him "the chief of English Protestant Schoolmen". After some false starts, he made his reputation by his ministry at Kidderminster, and at around the same time began a long and prolific career as theological writer. After the Restoration he refused preferment, while retaining a non-separatist Presbyterian approach, and became one of the most influential leaders of the nonconformists, spending time in prison.
