I've decided that the next Tuesday Theology title will be 'A lifting up for the downcast' by William Bridge (Available from Amazon or free here).
Beeke & Pederson in their book, 'Meet the Puritans', write: 'This book, based on Psalm 42:11, is a collection of thirteen sermons on spiritual depression. It has helped hundreds of God's people battle discouragement. Bridge addresses the following causes of depression: great sins, weak grace, miscarriage of duties, lack of assurance, temptation, desertion, affliction, and inability to serve. This book is packed with comforting advice showing why believers ought not be discouraged no matter what their condition. The final sermon, "The Cure of Discouragements by Faith in Jesus Christ," is worth the price of the book. "Be sure that you do not go to God without Christ, but with Christ in your arms," Bridge says (p. 276).'
By my calculations we'll be starting the 'A lifting up for the downcast' sometime in March 2011.
