In Christ Alone
by Sinclair B. Ferguson
Reformation Trust Publishing
I am biased of course. I've read many books by Sinclair Ferguson before and have both enjoyed and profited from each one. And I have heard him preach in St George's Tron on quite a few occasions and on mp3 too.
For me, Sinclair Ferguson represents all that is best and warmly heart-felt in classic Reformed, Scottish Presbyterian theology and spirituality.
So, it will come as no surprise that I think this collection of short, pithy theological articles is great. Covering material mostly from Romans and Hebrews, Sinclair Ferguson takes us through the real nitty-gritty of the Christian life. Very practical, with that warm pastor's heart and keen sense of humour everyone who has heard Sinclair preaching will recognise. This book would make excellent 'devotional' reading at quiet times, but make no mistake, it is underpinned by rock-solid Reformed theology and Puritan spirituality.
Thoroughly recommended.
Short and shorter articles and stories really fit my lifestyle well -- I can pick something up and read it, in a tight time frame, which is what I usually have! Thanks for the recommendation. I have another book of short devotional stories, "A Touch of Grace," by the Drs. Arno, which are just great. (They have another book, "The Missing Link," which I was thinking of when I read your post on homosexuality, etc., because that book teaches accountability for individual actions, and helping us understand who God created us to be.)
