Taking the Puritan Challenge

I mentioned in the last post that I've joined with others on the Internet in a plan to read through a Puritan paperback each month this year.

The home of the challenge is Timmy Brister's blog, Provocations & Pantings, and he will be providing additional resources and facilitating discussion each month. You can check out the details and sign up here.

Here is the rundown of the reading schedule...

January: The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes
February: The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel
March: The Godly Man's Picture by Thomas Watson
April: Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas Brooks
May: Come and Welcome Jesus Christ by John Bunyan
June: The Mortification of Sin by John Owen
July: A Lifting Up for the Downcast by William Bridge
August: The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs
September: The True Bounds of Christian Freedom by Samuel Bolton
October: The Christian's Great Interest by William Guthrie
November: The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter
December: A Sure Guide to Heaven by Joseph Alleine


As you might notice, it's February and I haven't said anything about The Bruised Reed yet. Well, I got started a little late. I only decided to join the Challenge about a week ago. So, I'm working my way through the book for January and I'll be playing catchup for at least a week or two. Hopefully, I'll have the first post on the first book sometime tomorrow.

Feel free to join me and the other people who will be reading along this year. Either click the link above or the button on the sidebar to join in.
