In this classic work first published in 1669, Watson urges believers to “storm the gates of heaven” with holy violence: striving earnestly against sin and their own sinful nature. Drawing from Matthew 11:12, he describes genuine salvation as striving against sin, self, and spiritual laziness.

In a world of easy-believism, Watson’s words offer needed depth, comfort, and challenge for  “pressing into the kingdom.” This updated and affordable hardcover edition is created to last for generations of readers.
