The famous Puritan Thomas Watson said, Get books into your houses. When you have not the spring near you, then get some water into your cisterns. So when you have not that wholesome preaching that you desire, good books are cisterns that hold the water of life in them to refresh you. So when you begin to find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat begins to abate, Ply yourselves with warm clothes. Get those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect your hearts. Inspirational words from the famous Puritan Thomas Watson.

Clicking on the green icon opens the resource, allowing me to begin my reading. Further details about any resource can be found by clicking on the book cover icon, which opens the Resource Detail page. From here I can browse the details of this work, I can add and save my own notes about it, and open the resource for reading, listening, or viewing. Your search capabilities don't end there. The majority of the rare, classic works on the Puritan hard drive now contain an embedded index.
