The Afflicted Man’s Companion: For the Sick and Troubled

John Willison

THE AFFLICTED MAN’S COMPANION was written with the benevolent intention (according to the author) that the afflicted may have a book in their houses, and at their bed-sides, as a monitor to preach to them in private, when they are restrained from hearing sermons in public; and the work is admirably calculated to have the soothing effect intended by its able and amiable author. John Willison (1680-1750), an influential evangelical minister of the Church of Scotland, was renowned as a prolific writer of practical Christian literature. ‘The Afflicted Man’s Companion, ’ a veritable treasure-house on coping with sickness, dying, and other afflictions, was one of his most frequently reprinted titles. While being led through the valley of affliction some years ago, I frequently perused this volume with great profit. I know of no book so biblical, God-honoring, and practical for times of suffering, for the believer and the unconverted alike. Here is practical theology at its best. Give a copy to every suffering friend you have. –Dr. Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan John Willison ranks with the great Scottish preachers and writers of long ago. Scotland has given us Knox, Durham, Boston, Colquhoun, among many others, and John Willison. His ‘Afflicted Man’s Companion’ is a must-have book for those under God’s afflicting hand. If you or someone you know is going through a time of dark providence, then give them this title. Read it; then read it again; and then read it again. The silver lining behind the cloud will begin to show itself to you eventually as God reveals Himself.
- Dr. Don Kistler, founder of The Northampton Press
