Northampton

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.
