"His major work, 'The Christian Man's Calling,' contained in Volumes 1 and 2 and part of Volume 3 (more than a thousand pages), masterfully explores the calling of the true believer in 'spiritual disciplines, personal lifestyle, relations in the home, marriage and daily work, in times of prosperity and adversity, in a hostile world, and at the time of death.' The editors say this work 'is one of the fullest and best exhibitions of the gospel in its application to the ordinary affairs of life.'" -- Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson in Meet the Puritans: With a Guide to Modern Reprints.

"Swinnock's works show keen sensitivity to the Scriptures and their applications to daily life." -- Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson in Meet the Puritans: With a Guide to Modern Reprints.
