Both scriptural and practical, The Christian’s Daily Walk, by Henry Scudder, has become a classic Puritan devotional work. Scudder plumbs the depths of Scripture to describe the attributes of a holy life, and instructs his readers how to live lives of service and devotion to God. Scudder describes the practice of spiritual devotion, the means of acquiring the peace of God, and the characteristics of those who walk with God.
The Christian’s Daily Walk was first published in the early seventeenth century, but it did not attain wide readership until it was endorsed by John Owen and Richard Baxter several decades after its initial publication. In fact, Baxter wrote that there was no book better equipped “to be the daily companion of Christians, to guide them in the practice of a holy life.” By the nineteenth century, it had become a bestselling Puritan devotional and a standard work applying biblical truth to daily Christian living.
