I’ve begun reading the book I most wanted to read during vacation, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures.
Recently a new friend gave me a hardback copy published by Granted
Ministries. It’s a handsome volume with an insightful foreword by Geoffrey Thomas.
I know, I’m late to the Spiritual Depression party. I’ve
heard it quoted often. Many people have shared personal testimonies
about how much it’s helped them.
And on the strength of the quotes
(often extended), the personal recommendation of friends, and my general
love and trust for Lloyd-Jones, I’ve recommended the book a number of
times myself. But until now, I’ve actually never read it. I’m excited
to be correcting that omission over the next couple days. And along the
way, I’m equally excited to hear the good Doctor’s original sermons
that became this classic treatise on the Christian life.
So, over the next few days, Lord willing, I hope to post some
reflections and thoughts as I read through the book. Today, I want to
offer a brief summary of Thomas’ biographical foreword and Lloyd-Jones’
brief preface.
