FERGUSON<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>This book, <em>A Sure Guide to Heaven<\/em> will provide the reader with a clear and simple statement of what the Christian gospel really is, providing answers to questions such as, \u2018What is the nature of conversion?\u2019, \u2018Why is conversion necessary?\u2019, \u2018What are the means of conversion?\u2019, and \u2018What are the motives to conversion?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It is far from irrelevant to republish this classic book from a day when people were more deeply conscious of the world to come. When the spiritual history of the Western world in our own times is written, it may well be seen as the epoch of spiritual sloth and slumber. May this book, which was also known as <em>An Alarm to the Unconverted<\/em>, prove to be <em>A Sure Guide to Heaven<\/em> to those who pick it up and read.<\/p>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/poleblog.polemos.net\/2011\/02\/book-review-sure-guide-to-heaven.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Review by Jonathan Bunnett<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previously published under the title <em>An Alarm to the Unconverted<\/em>, this great evangelistic book is also a spur to personal evangelism. 152pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":220312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5610,1297,5697,19619],"product_tag":[20007,5944,6364,6010],"class_list":{"0":"post-691","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ebooks","7":"product_cat-evangelistic-resources","8":"product_cat-puritan-paperback-specials","9":"product_cat-puritan-paperbacks","10":"product_tag-advent-flyer-puritan-paperbacks","11":"product_tag-advent-special","12":"product_tag-ebooks","13":"product_tag-regeneration","14":"pa_binding-ebook","15":"pa_binding-paperback","16":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","17":"pa_class-bq","18":"pa_era-17th-century","19":"pa_format-book","20":"pa_isbn-19392","21":"pa_original-pub-date-4036","22":"pa_page-count-4037","23":"pa_recent-pub-date-oct-4-2022","24":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-19264","25":"pa_series-puritan-paperbacks","26":"pa_short-isbn-4038","27":"pa_theauthor-alleine-joseph","28":"pa_topic-coversion","29":"pa_topic-salvation","31":"first","32":"instock","33":"sale","34":"taxable","35":"shipping-taxable","36":"purchasable","37":"product-type-variable","38":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":500,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Sure Guide to Heaven &#8211;
