Hi Decyple,
Thanks for such a detailed, to the point response.
To be honest - the Thomas Brookes quote (which I have just changed) I got from an internet site.
I am impressed that you like Thomas Watson and have read two of his books.He has to be right up there in my books! ( No pun intended.)He has an amazing sermon entitled "The worst things."It is about Romans 8:28 ....I like to listen to it frequently to find strength.
I also really like John Bunyan and have read "Visions of heaven and hell" and am currently delving into ,"The Pilgrims Progress " for the second time.It has just been hard to get my hands on an edition of this book that is true to the original.I did , however, find a 1970's version of a "Pilgrims Progress" movie on youtube which I delight in.It has a homely feeling about it and the guy who plays the devil is very comical - in a diabolical way of course
I also have a thick tome entitled , " The Christian in complete armour", by William Gurnall.I have to say that I find his writing somewhat inaccessible or maybe it is just the fact that I prefer the idea of a kindle to a hard copy book.
Besides that - I have gotten some way through Thomas Brookes' book , " Precious Remedies against satans devices."Quite meaty and dense - yet highly readable.
And lastly , Charles Spurgeon.I find him to be a source of comfort and an elixir of healing.I especially like a sermon of his on Romans 8:28 read by Charles Kelsh.Again I like to make a habit of relistening to this to drum into my being this precious promise.
Anywho.I am so glad to have found another cc-er who likes the Puritans.It is a lovely surprise.
Again , thanks for sharing your delight in Puritan literature with me.
Blessings.
