The Bruised Reed
por Richard Sibbes · 160 páginas · Inglés
Richard Sibbes offers pastoral comfort to the broken-hearted believer, rooted in Isaiah 42:3's promise that Christ will not break the bruised reed.
Drawing on the messianic promise of Isaiah 42:3 ("a bruised reed he will not break"), Sibbes offers one of the tenderest pastoral treatises in all of Puritan literature, addressed to believers who feel weak, failed, or unworthy of grace.
Richard Baxter himself credited this book with a decisive role in his own conversion, and its message that Christ deals gently with wounded believers continues to resonate with readers across traditions.

I shall never cease to be grateful to Richard Sibbes who was balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil.
Christ is central, his glory is great, his wrath is terrible, and his mercy is overwhelming.
