Richard Baxter was one of the most important leaders of the Puritan church in England in the 17th century. Born in Shropshire, England sometime in 1615, Baxter was poorly educated as a child, but diligently pursued his education as a young man and decided to enter the church at age 23. He was ordained as a pastor in 1638 and began a long and prolific career as a church leader, poet, theologian and writer. It is estimated he wrote as many as 141 books over his lifetime before his death in 1691. Baxter was appointed vicar of Kidderminster in 1647 and would remain in this post for nearly 19 years, except for those times during the English Civil War when he was forced to flee due to his religious beliefs. During his time at Kidderminster Baxter refined his ideas for reforming the ministry. First appearing as early as 1656, "The Reformed Pastor" was written by Baxter to assist other ministers in performing their duties to their congregations and to lead by example by living lives of faith and virtue. Baxter's teachings have inspired and influenced ministers for centuries and continue to provide a strong moral guide for religious leaders to this day.

While facing a critical illness, Richard Baxter turned his thoughts towards the celestial realm, embarking on a profound exploration of heaven's essence in his book "Saints' Everlasting Rest." In the midst of physical affliction, Baxter pondered over the fundamental questions surrounding the heavenly abode: its intended recipients, its celestial characteristics, and the means by which one can adequately prepare for its embrace. As Baxter points out, eternal heavenly rest constitutes the pinnacle of joy for a Christian, representing a state of perfect liberation from all forms of evil, a sanctuary where believers bask in an unadulterated union with God.In this eloquent exposition, Baxter urges readers to think deeply about the heavenly realm and make a conscious effort to manifest the divine work of God in every earthly endeavor. He shows how, by leading a life infused with heavenly values, Christians can prepare themselves for that better land. Though his thoughts are deep and insightful, Baxter maintains a humble posture, acknowledging the limitations of human understanding in grasping the full splendor of heaven. He candidly admits that the fall has tainted our ability to comprehend the true nature of the celestial realm.Baxter's humility doesn't diminish the potency of his meditations, however. His reflections have served as guiding lights for many as they contemplated the afterlife. A true literary masterpiece, "Saints' Everlasting Rest" offers readers a captivating and beautiful glimpse into the wonders of their future heavenly home.

"No amount of alcohol is safe." So read the August 23, 2018 headlines following the publication in the journal Lancet of a global study. Though in the weeks after the Lancet's publication it became plain that the authors' conclusions were overstated to bait the media, it was hard to ignore troubling epidemiological evidence that this and other recent studies had discovered which seemed to refute decades of positive health associations with moderate alcohol consumption.So, in this apparent paradigm shift, what happened to the French Paradox?According to the first wide-ranging and magisterial analysis of the existing wine health science, Wine & Health, the answer emerges as a set of new paradoxes: We see that studies may be globally accurate while at the same time miss wine's position in health and well-being; we note that wine drinkers outlive nondrinkers on average, even as we are warned about alcohol's dangers; we observe that wine drinkers maintain mental sharpness in old age better than teetotalers; and we find evidence of wine's benefits in the very studies telling us about alcohol's dangers.So where does all of this leave wine? On the dinner table, as part of a moderate, healthy adult diet. In Wine & Health, Dr. Richard Baxter argues that wine continues to play a central role in healthy living and explains in objective terms what every wine lover needs to know: When it is a daily drink with meals and part of a healthy lifestyle, wine's association with longevity and healthspan endures, as it has done since the dawn of civilization."Superb. The science is balanced and sound, and the writing is witty and enjoyable"-R. Curtis Ellitson, M.D. Professor of Medicine and Public Health, Boston University Medical Center
