In his letter to the readers of this treatise Mr. Bunyan wrote, "Of the many and singular advantages, therefore, that such have by this their Advocate in his advocating for them, this book gives some account; as, where he pleads, how he pleads, what he pleads, when he pleads, with whom he pleads, for whom he pleads, and how the enemy is put to shame and silence before their God and all the holy angels." This treatise was published in London in 1689, one year after John Bunyan's death. Our edition of this work comes from George Offor's three-volume collection, The Whole Works of John Bunyan, published in Glasgow in 1862. Today, this excellent treatise, written by the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, is made conveniently available in paperback for Bible study and personal devotion. This paperback was edited by Jon J. Cardwell, pastor of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama.
