Scougal, Flavel and Burroughs

Uncle Donnie just finished reading a great little book entitled, The Life Of God In the
Soul of Man, written by an old dead guy named Henry Scougal. Here is a little sample:
"The power and life of religion may be better expressed in actions than in words,
because actions are more lively things, and do better represent the inward principle
whence they proceed"....
"The root of Divine life is faith; the chief branches are love to God, charity to
man, purity and humility; for as an excellent person hath well observed, however these names be common and vulgar, and make no extraordinary sound, yet do they carry such a
mighty sense, that the tongue of men or angel can pronounce nothing more weighty or
excellent."
The next book entitled, Facing Grief; Counsel for Mourners, by John Flavel is another
good one that might come in handy... I'm pretty sure Jesus would have you read it, you
know what I mean?
This last book is really kickin my but, right where it needs to be kicked and for good reason, on account of Donnies behavior sometimes leaves much to be desired, if you know
what I mean? Anyways this book written by Jeremiah Burroughs is titled, Gospel
Conversation; Conduct Worthy of the Gospel, and it is a compelling read.... convicting
me with every page, whattamIgonnado?
Its like when the obvious is right in front of you and it blows right past you without
you knowing it. Just like in Godfather 1 when the Turk says to Tom Higgins,"whattsa
matter consigliere, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already, get in the car"
This book by Burroughs helps you to see the blown by obvious. Uncle D obviously would'nt
know the obvious even if the obvious jumped up and bit Uncle D on the........well,
I'm sure you get my meaning.
Get the book and read it.
Ciao,
