Praise for Psalms By the Day:

… expository without being dry, devotional without being forced. As we get to look over his shoulder, we learn to read the Psalms better for ourselves … delicious combination-richly full, concisely put.

This book is the dream combination: the Psalms presented as a daily devotional by the great Christian scholar … Everyone who picks up this book will find that they not only learn to read and understand the Psalms as Christian scripture, they may also find their prayer life changed in a profound and dramatic way.

Jonathan Edwards' 'The Excellency of Christ'

Edited by Charles Biggs..

A rich and sumptuous feast of delight in the gloriously diverse person of Jesus our Savior --- Every Christian should read this sermon - perhaps one of the single most impacting sermon that you may ever read

Dear Beloved in Christ,

In my reading and study, I am oftentimes reminded of what C. S. Lewis said one time concerning the reading of old books. In essence, Lewis wrote that for every new book we read, we ought to read at least three old ones. What he wanted to communicated wisely to the Church was that the reading of old books takes us out of our culture and religious "present-tense" context and allows us to see a clearer and bigger picture of the teaching of Scripture without being hindered by the biases and narrowness of our present cultural milieu or context.

Recently, as I was studying and praying generally for the future of Christ's Church, and considering more specifically gaining wisdom with regard to how to pastor Christ's people, I came across a discourse, or study written by Jonathan Edwards in the early 18th century. Jonathan Edwards was a great and godly preacher of God's Word, and was perhaps the finest and most able theologian America has ever produced!

The discourse or study is entitled 'The Excellency of Christ'. The study struck me deeply in my heart and mind because it helped me to reflect on the glory of God in the incarnation, but perhaps even more practically, it helped me to think of how Christ builds and matures His Church in a way consistent with the incarnation, yet paradoxical with regards to the ways and methods of the world.
