I just picked up The Bruised Reed the other day. It came highly recommended. Have you read it yet?

Yes, I second the recommendation and defer to Josh's review.

Sibbes is sorely neglected.

His works are SOOOOOOO good.

Banner of Truth rereleased them again in an updated dust jacket.

I think they run something like $60.

Its worth every penny.

From what little I've read (The Bruised Reed), I love Sibbes' writing. The Bruised Reed is a great book.
