Providential Irony: A Puritan Reader Update

I'm supposed to be reading John Flavel's The Mystery of Providence this month. Oddly enough, I've misplaced the book, which could be a providence in itself. I don't know what to do now except begin the next book in the series and hope that it turns up. Bummer...I guess. Maybe I was supposed to be reading that other book now anyway....hmmm...

Puritan Reading Challenge Continues!

For those of you who are keeping up, it is now February. I hope that you've finished Richard Sibbes' The Bruised Reed. I confess that I am a few pages short, but I will finish it within the week. It is my second time through the book, and I confess that it has blessed me more the second time through than the first.

The next book we'll read is John Flavel's The Mystery of Providence. I am stoked about it. Hopefully, it will help answer a couple of the "noodle burner" questions about God's orchestration of all things. Hang in there! Keep reading! And if you have a favorite quote from your reading of Sibbes, why don't you share it in the comment section?
