That experience is evident from his warm, practical approach in this book. Here, Vincent explains and applies the doctrines of the new birth and the perseverance of the saints. He includes his exchange of letters with a man who backslid from the religion of his youth, as well as a compendium of motives and directives for youth to keep from backsliding. This book closes with two extra sermons Vincent wrote for young people: \"Christ the Best Husband: An Invitation to Young Women unto Christ\"; and \"The Best Gift: God's Call upon Young Men for Their Hearts.\"  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback, 158 pages, Soli Deo Gloria\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Good Work Begun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe first doctrine: the good work of grace in the soul is begun by the Lord\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe subject of this good work of grace: the soul\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eConcerning God, the Author of this good work\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy does the Lord begin this good work in any of the children of men?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe first use\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe second use\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe second doctrine: the good work which God begins in the day of grace He will perform until the day of Christ\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe fourth particular\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe second argument proving that gracious persons shall never fall from the good work begun in them\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eObjections and answers against the perseverance of the saints\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSection 11\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe application\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppendix 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eA cautionary letter sent b y a n unknown author to some youths belonging to the congregation of Mr. Thomas Vincent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppendix 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eA return of thanks to the author of the previous leter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppendix 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eCautionary motives and directions unto youths professing religion, to keep them from apostasy and backsliding\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChrist the Best Husband\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInviting young women to Christ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Best Gift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGod's call upon young men for their hearts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“The Good Work Begun is a brief but theologically rich discussion of a Christian’s persevering grace. Vincent demonstrates that the grace begun in the soul will be brought to full completion, from its beginning in regeneration to its growth in sanctification and its fulfillment in glory. He tackles doubts and fears, and he encourages a penetrating self-examination while also directing struggling saints to an assurance based more on God’s faithfulness than on the ebbing and flowing of subjective experiences. This is vintage Vincent. That he addresses covenant youth in the church only adds to its value.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Randall J.
