I’m grateful to P&R for sponsoring the blog this week to tell you about a beautiful 40-day illustrated devotional of classic literature. Sponsors are crucial for keeping this site going so I appreciate each and every one.

Christ looks more at the good in them which he means to cherish than the ill in them which he means to abolish.
—Richard Sibbes
