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.
