Puritan Board Professor
Sometimes when I'm reading posts, I'll click on a link to a person's church, just out of curiosity. When Curt mentioned he was a citizen of Red Sox nation, he caught my attention so I clicked on the link to his church.
When I got to his church's website, there was a link to The Puritan Reading Challenge. I liked the idea of encouraging people in his flock to read Puritan books. Here's the list they've been going through this year:
January: The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes (128 pp)
February: The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel (221 pp)
March: The Godly Man’s Picture by Thomas Watson (252 pp)
April: Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices by Thomas Brooks (253 pp)
May: Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ by John Bunyan (225 pp)
June: The Mortification of Sin by John Owen (130 pp)
July: A Lifting Up for the Downcast by William Bridge (287 pp)
August: The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs (228 pp)
September: The True Bounds of Christian Freedom by Samuel Bolton (224 pp)
October: The Christian’s Great Interest by William Guthrie (207 pp)
November: The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter (256 pp)
December: A Sure Guide to Heaven by Joseph Alleine (148 pp)
I'm sure I'm probably in the lower percentile compared to many of you. I've only read two: The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel and The Christian’s Great Interest by William Guthrie. How about you?
