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

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.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry |
