Men’s Bible Study

“The Bruised Reed”

by Richard Sibbes

The Bruised Reed is a classic work of Puritan theology by Richard Sibbes, first published in 1630. This timeless classic has been updated into modern English so you can understand exactly what Sibbes is saying.

This book is a devotional work that focuses on the comfort and assurance of salvation that is found in Jesus Christ. Sibbes uses the metaphor of a bruised reed from Isaiah 42:3 to illustrate the tenderness and mercy of God towards sinners.

He argues that God will not break the bruised reed, but instead will heal and restore it. He also emphasizes the importance of faith in the believer’s assurance of salvation.

The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the believer’s assurance of salvation.

• The first part focuses on the assurance of salvation,

• The second part focuses on the assurance of God’s love,

• The third part focuses on the assurance of God’s grace.

"The heavenly Doctor Sibbes . . . was a balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil. . . . His books [based on his sermons] quieted, soothed, comforted, encouraged, and healed me." - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
