Synopsis

The Bruised Reed walks Christians through Christ’s consistent and unconditional love for His children.  Richard Sibbes elaborates on the metaphor of a humble reed that may be bent or bruised as a result of life’s errors and the consequences of sin.  Rather than leaning on arrogance to hide these blemishes, looking to Christ to heal them will not only make the reed more beautiful than before, but will also strengthen the relationship with the mender Himself.  Sibbes paints a beautiful picture of a loving and sincere Father who has laid out the path to righteousness and waits with helping hands for those who choose to follow it.  This work is a sweet encouragement for all Christians, especially those who have felt bruised or broken along the way.

About Richard Sibbes

Richard Sibbes (1577–1635) was an Anglican theologian. He is known as a Biblical exegete, and as a representative, with William Perkins and John Preston, of what has been called “main-line” Puritanism because he ever remained in the Church of England and worshiped according to the Book of Common Prayer. He attended Cambridge and later wrote several devotional works expressing intense religious feeling, including The Saint’s Cordial and The Soules Conflict, as well as a volume of sermons.

"A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall not He quench; He shall bring forth judgment unto truth" (Isaiah 42:3; Matthew 12:20).

Goodreads review by Jeremy on July 22, 2021

This book sets forth my favorite characteristic of Puritan writing: deep meditation on the beauty of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Christianity has never been about moralism nor about a certain set of codes or behaviors. It is about the beauty of Christ. I know many people think of the Purita......more
