The Heart Taken Up-90 Days with the Puritans by Stephen Yuille
There’s certainly no shortage of fine devotional books available today, and every Christian should have more than one to nourish their soul. I’d like to recommend another title worthy of that list—The Heart Taken Up by Stephen Yuille. What makes this devotional unique is that it draws entirely from the writings of the Puritans.
Who were the Puritans, and why should we read them? The Puritans were pastors and theologians in the 16th and 17th centuries who longed to see the Church of England brought into greater conformity with Scripture. These godly men possessed a remarkable ability to meditate deeply on God’s Word, uncovering its practical application for everyday life. Their goal was not merely to fill minds with sound doctrine but to stir hearts with holy affection. They believed that all true knowledge of God should transform the heart, moving believers to love and obedience.
The Heart Taken Up beautifully captures that spirit. This 90-day devotional offers carefully edited readings that make the Puritans’ wisdom accessible to today’s readers. Each devotion is both doctrinally rich and warmly practical, helping believers grow in holiness and delight in Christ. This is the first edition in a four part series. 
Whether you’re new to the Puritans or already familiar with their writings, this devotional will guide your heart toward deeper communion with Christ. I warmly encourage you to take up 90 days with the Puritans—your soul will be enriched and your love for the glory and majesty of Christ will be wonderfully renewed.
