If you are taking the Puritan Challenge then you will know that the Puritan for this month is Richard Sibbes. We will be reading his classic work The Bruised Reed in January. Timmy Brister has graciously provided a biographical sketch of Sibbes. (Actually it's taken from Beeke and Pederson's Meet the Puritans). Brister has also provided a helpful catalog of Sibbes' links; some are of Sibbes personal works and others are works about Sibbes. He has also posted a few quotes of what others have said about Sibbes.
As soon as I receive my copy of Sibbes' Bruised Reed in the mail, I will begin reading and blogging on it.
About this blog
In 1832, after reading the life of Jonathan Edwards, Robert Murray McCheyne was deeply humbled. He related this experience in his diary: "How feeble my spark of Christianity appears beside such a sun! But even his was a borrowed light, and the same source is still open to enlighten me."
