Open book: Tim Fletcher
Posted on 13 Jun 2006
What book are you reading at the moment? I'm reading Grow in Grace
by Sinclair B Ferguson. I bought it because I heard a tape of him at
Keswick on atonement and thought it was good. Sinclair has one of those
Scottish accents that you could listen to all day long. (I see he is
coming to Longhorsley at the start of July.) The book is about how we
grow and reach maturity in the Christian faith. Jesus as God was
perfect in his life, yet in each stage from childhood to maturity he
must have had new experiences, and he grew at each stage. He valued the
scriptures, prayer and close friendships. He feared God, not in a
slavish sense, but as a son with reverence and awe of his father.
Sinclair urges us to follow in his footsteps.
What book has had the biggest impact on you? Definitely The Fight by John White.
What do you plan to read next? Wild at Heart by John Eldridge, as it has been recommended. And as people know, it sums up my life philosophy.
