by Robert Bruce Our Price: £5.75
This book gives us six updated and edited sermons from Robert Bruce who was a leading Reformed minister in Edinburgh in the 16th and 17th centuries. The sermons expound Isaiah 38 and the illness suffered by King Hezekiah and his reaction to it.
Some of the things that Bruce highlights: the good example of Hezekiah turning to God – having been opposed by the King of Assyria, Hezekiah humbles himself when seemingly opposed by God; God’s willingness to hear prayer; Isaiah’s model obedience as a herald and preacher of God’s word; God’s sign that shows us we are not to fear death; the believer’s real struggle of faith; looking to the Spirit for His ministry and help; the balance between sovereignty and man’s responsibility.
Much here to warm and encourage believers and also stimulate preachers and pastors.
