Omschrijving
John Flavel's book, 'A Token for Mourners,' written in 1674, has been loved by many readers for hundreds of years. This book presents the author's meditation on Luke 7:13, which was published 2 years after his wife Elizabeth Morries' death, offering helpful consolation to readers who have experienced the same grief. Flavel's deep exploration concerning the topic consists of unique and irreplaceable understanding about the grief of the loss of a loved one that everyone faces during their own lives. This book also offers valuable counsel to Christian scholars as well as general readers.
John Flavel (c.1628-1691) was born into an England wracked by political, social, and religious upheaval. Two civil wars and unstable leadership framed the political landscape. Economic hardships and a resurgence of plague further distressed the nation. The church, too, was in turmoil. Flavel, a pastor of one of the many independent churches persecuted by the government, was forced from his church in Dartmouth. In secret and under stress, he continued preaching, writing, and shepherding his flock. He suffered the death of three of his four wives and at least one child. He continued preaching until his sudden death in 1691.
