In 1658 the famous English preacher Richard Baxter wrote a book entitled A Call to the Unconverted, regarded by many as the greatest book on Christian conversion that has ever been written. It was translated into several languages and was thought to have been the means of bringing thousands of people to a living faith in Christ. Based on Baxters work, Invitation to Live has the same serious, earnest and urgent message. It pleads with the reader to be ruthlessly honest in examining his spiritual condition, tells him of Gods amazing love, and urges him to accept Gods invitation to receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. It also leaves him in no doubt about the alternative.
