Hello friends and happy Wednesday! I am most sleepy and thus shall not write long…(even though at some point would love to chronicle my past weekend in North Carolina…), but for now – my latest read:
5. Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography by Iain Murray. My second favourite biography of all time…and one of my very favourite books ever. I hadn’t read it in a few years and I thought it was time. And yes – it was as encouraging and inspiring and convicting as ever. I do love it so. One of the great men of God, humble and longing to please God in all things. Would I possess even a small fraction of his love and passion for God. Murray’s writing is – as always – enthralling and uplifting and supremely factual, while also seeking to glorify God in the telling of a story of a man. The book is truly a story of the works of God, not the works of man. And that is what I love. And this book did something all good books should do – it got me pointed to my next read – now reading the diary of David Brainerd, which has continued to deeply convict and encourage me. Oh that I might be more conscious of God and His glories and less desirous of mine own.
