Thomas Brooks (1608–1680) was a prominent English Puritan preacher and author, known for his deeply devotional writings and powerful sermons. Educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Brooks was ordained as a minister and became a well-respected preacher in London during the 17th century. He served as pastor at St. Margaret’s, Fish Street Hill, and was widely admired for his passionate and practical preaching. Brooks was a Nonconformist, meaning he refused to conform to the practices of the Church of England after the Act of Uniformity (1662), which led to his ejection from his church. Despite this, he continued to write extensively, producing a number of influential works aimed at encouraging Christian holiness and perseverance. Some of his most notable books include “Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices,” “Heaven on Earth,” and “The Mute Christian Under the Smarting Rod.” His writings are marked by rich spiritual insight, clarity, and heartfelt application of Scripture. Thomas Brooks died in 1680, leaving behind a legacy of devotional literature that continues to inspire Christians around the world.
