A Treatise of Conversing in Heaven and Walking with God | Jeremiah Burroughs | Full-Length Audiobook
~ Audiobook Description ~
For our conversation is in heaven. With this single line, the apostle Paul defines the whole of the Christian life.
In A Treatise of Conversing in Heaven and Walking with God, Jeremiah Burroughs unfolds the rich biblical truth that the Christian’s “conversation” – his manner of life, aims, and affections – is to be heavenly even now. Drawing from Philippians 3:20, Burroughs shows that believers are citizens of heaven, called to walk with God in daily communion, holy conduct, and joyful anticipation of eternity.

With a caring heart and biblical clarity, Burroughs exposes the emptiness of earthly-minded living and presses the soul upward – to delight in God, to trade for eternal riches, and to order every aspect of life by the laws of heaven. He explains how heavenly-mindedness shapes thought, worship, obedience, suffering, contentment, fellowship, and even death itself.
This work is both deeply devotional and thoroughly practical. It comforts weary believers, challenges complacent professors, and calls every Christian to examine where their true home lies. Written with the heartfelt depth for which the Puritans are known, this treatise invites readers not merely to think about heaven – but to begin living there now.
A timeless call to holiness, communion, and eternal perspective, this book remains as urgent today as when it was first published.
