Memoirs of Thomas Boston Reviews
-
Boston's was not an easy read - he is often introspective and melancholy, and suffered an extraordinary amount over roughly 30 years of ministry. 6 out of 10 children died in childhood, Boston's wife suffered from a form of mental instability, he dealt with chronic pain and illness - and yet through it all he never missed a Sunday in the pulpit, and his reflections became increasingly filled with thankfulness and dependence as he aged.
