I know, I talk about Thomas Goodwin's book 'Heart of Christ' a lot. When a book makes such an impact on you--when it changes your whole perspective--when it breathes LIFE and VITALITY into weary bones you can't help but talk about it. And here I'm going to talk about it again. As I was flipping through my rugged copy of 'The Heart of Christ' I observed a note I had scrawled in one of the margins. It said,
"Oh...to be able to do a study on the Holy Spirit with Goodwin!"
Meanwhile I have saved up all my egg money and have bought the works of Goodwin (12 books). They are sitting on my top shelf. And volume 6--the entire book--deals with 'The Work of the Holy Spirit in our Sanctification'.
How sweet is that?
Where did this love of Puritans come from? Well part of the story lies here. And maybe one day when I get really brave I'll tell you the rest of the story.
