True meditation is not emptying the mind, but filling it. And everyone meditates on something.
The Puritans viewed meditation as essential for spiritual growth and effectiveness in spiritual duties--a crucial link between hearing, believing, and living God's Word. Proper meditation cultivates discernment, deepens repentance, and fosters devotion.
Instructing us in occasional meditation and set meditation, this modernized version of Thomas Manton's work on a crucial spiritual discipline helps believers discover the transformative effect of biblical meditation on the mind and heart.
Thomas Manton
THOMAS MANTON (1620-1677) played a prominent role in the Savoy Conference and the drafting of the Westminster Confession. He was pastor of a noted Puritan congregation in London but was later ejected from the official church for nonconformity, though he continued to preach wherever and whenever he had opportunity. Archbishop Ussher called him "one of the great preachers in England." His sermons formed the basis of his published commentaries.
