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.

A Masterclass in Spiritual Altitude: Why You Should Read Jeremiah Burroughs
In an age where our attention is sliced into millisecond fragments by notifications and “hustle culture,” Jeremiah Burroughs’ A Treatise of Conversing in Heaven and Walking with God feels less like an old book and more like a recovery program for the soul.
Burroughs, a 17th-century Puritan with a famously gentle spirit, doesn’t just tell you to “be holy”—he provides the logistics for how a person living in a chaotic, messy world can maintain a constant, vibrant connection with the Divine.
The Core Vibe: Heaven is a State of Mind
The central premise is refreshing: Heavenly-mindedness is not about escapism. Burroughs argues that “conversing in heaven” actually makes you more effective, peaceful, and resilient on earth. He reframes the Christian life not as a series of chores, but as a change in citizenship.
Why This Book Hits Differently:
The “Irenical” Tone: Burroughs was known as the “Prince of Preachers” for a reason. His prose is warm, inviting, and surprisingly modern in its psychological depth. He speaks like a friend who genuinely wants you to be happy.
Practical Mysticism: He bridges the gap between high theology and daily grit. He explains how to keep your “conversation” (your conduct and inner dialogue) centered on God while you’re doing mundane tasks like working or raising a family.
Conviction without Condemnation: You’ll feel challenged to raise your standards, but you won’t feel beat down. He focuses on the sweetness of God’s presence rather than the fear of His absence.
Key Takeaways for the Modern Reader
Why It Matters
Perspective Shift – It helps you realize that most of what we stress about is “under the sun” and temporary.
Spiritual Focus – It acts as a manual for mindfulness, teaching you how to “walk” with God through every room of your life.
Rich Imagery- Burroughs uses beautiful metaphors that stick with you long after you close the book.
The Verdict: A Soul-Deep Reset
If you feel spiritually “thin” or overwhelmed by the noise of the world, this treatise is a profound antidote. It’s a call to live life at a higher altitude. Burroughs doesn’t just want you to get to heaven; he wants heaven to get into you right now.
Bottom line: This isn’t just a dusty classic for theologians. It’s a practical, beautiful guide for anyone who wants their daily walk to feel a little more like a sacred journey and a little less like a treadmill.
