Reformed Pastor
Summary
His introduction begins, "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." This charge from Acts 20:28 only is the beginning of a solemn and overarching task to be personally involved and disciple all of your congregants. Richard Baxter's plea for shepherding his flock continues with a charge to pastors to verify their own spiritual walk and then walks them through various disciplines, strategies and goals to guide and instruct their congregation.

Self-Denial
Summary
We very often fall victim to our own minds and once our mind becomes our cage, escape is very difficult. Richard Baxter offers this treatise as a warning against the powerful denial the world can lay upon us in the form of trying to further yourself by secular standards. Ultimate freedom, he states, can only be gained with a mind free of such interference and fully devoted to the word of God.

Directions for Hating Sin
Summary
17th century Puritan Richard Baxter explains that fully understanding sin is as impossible as fully understanding God. So how can we develop a shield against sin and learn to hate it? Baxter lists the many glories as experiences by true Christians; God’s love and mercy, Christ’s sacrifice, an eternal soul which in itself is pure, to then explain that sin is that which robs us from these glories and clutters our soul with misguided notions.

Ministerial Pride
Summary
Even though ministers set out to speak for God, they are human like all of us and so they can fall victim to the same sins. The worst sin a minister can possess, Baxter states, is pride. He warns that pride invites us all to seek out ourselves while the mission of every minister is to seek out nothing but God.
