Christ’s Way is First to Wound …

If you haven’t read this small book by Sibbes you are missing out.  Spurgeon said, “Sibbes never wastes the student’s time, he scatters pearls and diamonds with both hands.”  And D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones added, “Richard Sibbes was balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired … The Bruised Reed soothed, comforted, encouraged and healed me.”
