Список книг автора Richard SibbesLa caña cascada
«Nunca dejaré de estar agradecido con Richard Sibbes por haber sido un bálsamo para mi alma en un periodo de mi vida en el que llegué a estar sobrecargado de trabajo, muy cansado, y por tanto sujeto de una manera inusual a los ataques del diablo. En ese tiempo Richard Sibbes (conocido en el siglo XVII como „el doctor celesital Sibbes“) llegó a ser un remedio excepcional. La caña cascada me dio paz, me calmó, me consoló, me animó y me sanó». D. Martyn Lloyd JonesDe todas las obras de Richard Sibbes, La caña cascada probablemente ha sido la que ha tenido un impacto más perdurable. Consiste en una exposición de la aplicación cristiana del apóstol Mateo acerca de la descripción del Siervo del Señor de Isaías 42:3 (Mateo 12:20). Este tratado maravillosamente sensible ha ministrado a generaciones de cristianos desde su primera publicación en 1630.
The Bruised Reed
First Published in 1631, “The Bruised Reed” is the widely read and inspiring classic by Richard Sibbes, the 17th century English theologian and preacher. Sibbes was an important spiritual leader during the early days of the Anglican Church under Queen Elizabeth I. He was also a vocal supporter of traditional Puritan religious doctrine and encouraged the faithful to worship according to the English “Book of Common Prayer”. Sibbes was well-known during his life for his kindness, his messages of hope and forgiveness, and for his gentle and temperate style of preaching and writing. “The Bruised Reed” is the most well-known and enduring work by Sibbes and continues to be read all over the world. Inspired by a remark made by Jesus in Matthew 12 that “a bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out”, Sibbes explains that the foundation for a true Christian life may only be found in surrendering one’s life to God and putting faith in God’s plan for mankind. This timeless work of Christianity is cherished for its comforting and encouraging message that God will never abandon his followers and that the love of Christ is never wavering.
