This third volume from the Works of William Perkins collection contains Perkins’s A Cloud of Faithful Witnesses, Leading to the Heavenly Canaan , which was his exposition of Hebrews 11. Within, Perkins contends that the whole chapter of Hebrews 11 is meant to urge readers to persevere in faith by persuading them of the excellence of faith. In his characteristic manner, Perkins brings the abiding importance of this message through careful exegesis and perceptive application.

In an age of cheap faith and easy believism, this exposition offers us a way to put our faith to the test, to try it against the faith of the great cloud of witnesses, and, in the end, to put it into practice, assured that God’s mercy will uphold us for life.
