Regi Addictissimus
Completely sold out to the King
Hello, beloved in Christ. A brother and coworker at RHB compiled these treatises and sermons and sent them out to us this morning. I think these are relevant to much of the discussion that has been taking place on the board as of late.
I have personally read and can recommend the ones by Samuel Davies, Edward Reynolds, William Bridge, Thomas Brooks, and Thomas Vincent.
I pray they may be a balm in such times as these. Please share any thoughts or quotes as you read through any of the linked works. I would love for this thread to be an ongoing discussion and source of encouragement.
