[Greg]

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

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

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

 

[C. Matthew McMahon]

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.
