The Bruised Reed


This is a great little book by Puritan Richard Sibbes. Sibbes focus is on the gravity of sin in our lives and us REALIZING and being affected by that sin. Only when we truly realize this sin and hate it are we bruised and then gathered by our Creator for His salvation. If you have ever gone through your life and asked, "How could a perfect God ever love such a worm as I?" This is a great book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhortations in this book as realizing I am not the only one that truly struggles over my sin. It is common, and has to be common in the Christian's life. Only when we struggle with sin and find hating it will we draw close the Saviour's side. This is Sibbes theses for this book, The Bruised Reed. Link to Buy
