Meditation on the Gospel

This is an excellent book. Sibbes beautifully lays out the importance, value, and centrality of the gospel in the life of the Christian. I found this to be especially helpful in breaking away from my over-developed sense of legalism. Many Christians and churches will answer ethical questions by saying, "Well, what rule can we find on this topic in the bible?" They then simply apply that rule, which is basically obediance to the law due to fear of punishment from God. Sibbes will help you see clearly how dependent we are on God's grace, and what a marvelous gift it is that our veil has been removed and we can be transformed into His image. Meanwhile, our job here on earth is to reflect his glory to an unbelieving world. Excellent book, especially recommended to those willing to read slowly and with much meditation.

Great Puritan preacher

This book, included in the 7 volume complete works of Sibbes will warm your heart and motivate your Christian walk. There is much here to learn of God's glorious character and the beauty of God's Word. I would recommend getting the cd-rom version of these volumes from richardsibbes.com. They are cheeper and searchable on your computer. But you wont be dissapointed in Sibbes.
