I finished The Bruised Reed also. I bawled through ending, highlighting as I went. It was a wonderful book. A must read for all Christians.

FYI -- Timmy Brister interviewed Stephen Yuille, author of The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety: John Flavel's Doctrine of Mystical Union with Christ recently.

The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety

Interview with Stephen Yuille on John Flavel « Provocations & Pantings

Some topics covered:

1. The only proper way to pronounce the name “Flavel”
2. The impact of the Puritans upon Dr. Yuille’s life
3. About The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety
4. Lloyd-Jones and “mystical union with Christ”
5. Christ’s offices as prophet, priest, and king (and their neglect today)
6. Regeneration, Faith, and Conversion
7. Puritans too introspective? Addressing the charges
8. Puritans and “standing” on texts
9. Encouragement for those in the Puritan Reading Challenge

Puritan Reading Challenge Book Giveaway (March) « Provocations & Pantings (March 19, 2008)
Important PRC Announcement: April Schedule Change « Provocations & Pantings (March 19, 2008)

Quote:
Important PRC Announcement: April Schedule Change

Many of you (I am told around 300) have purchased the P&P special from RHB which includes all twelve Puritan Paperbacks in a set. Well, not quite all twelve. As you know, Thomas Brooks’ book, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, has been sold out and back-ordered for a couple of months. While I have been informed that they are close to filling those orders in the near future, it appears that the books will not be available in time for the beginning of April which is the month dedicated to reading Brooks. Therefore, I have decided to make a schedule change.

Here’s the deal: For the month of April, instead of reading Brooks’ Precious Remedies, we are going to read Jeremiah Burroughs’ The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment which was slated for August. In August, we will then read Brooks.

Make sense?

Please help me get the word out on this. There are so many people from so many corners of the internet that I cannot possibly connect with everyone. So if you can, please help me get this announcement out. I am looking forward to digging into Burroughs next month with you as we learn about great gain of godliness with contentment.

I guess peeking ahead is allowed. Thanks for the feedback, Traci.

For others who might feel like it's too late to get started on this, it's never too late to start reading the Puritans.
