Synopsis

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Matthew 26:41 Are you watchful in your Christian life? Although watchfulness is not as familiar as spiritual disciplines like meditation, prayer, and fasting, it is just as necessary for a healthy spiritual life. Scripture exhorts all Christians to be watchful, regardless of their station and season in life. In Watchfulness, Brian Hedges provides a fresh look at the what, why, how, when, and who of watchfulness, drawing principles from Scripture and instruction from believers of the past who have understood this discipline and written about it. Designed for reflection, self-examination, and personal application, with "Examine and Apply" questions at the end of each chapter, this book will chart your course toward greater watchfulness, increased holiness, and deeper communion with the triune God.

This has now entered into my list of recommended reads. It’s usually the smallest books that have the most impact and cause the reader to ponder after reading one paragraph. I will definitely return and return again to this book. Too many highlights to count. Convicting, encouraging, and practical.......more

I picked up this book on a whim at a conference last year. It looked interesting . . . I had read a few of the puritans on the spiritual necessity of watchfulness, but I hadn't seen a book written for *my* generation about this much needed, oft neglected, spiritual discipline. I would highly, HIGHLY......more

Goodreads review by Elliot on May 06, 2025

This book is a great introduction to the Puritan art of watchfulness (and the Puritans got it from Scripture). The author pulls mainly from John Owen, Robert Murray McCheyne, and John Bunyan but he certainly cites others throughout the book. Every chapter was extremely insightful and practical. Peyt......more
