As God would have it (and always does), just this morning I found and re-read my dad’s letter to me when I was 18 and just shipping off to college, some 30 years ago. My dad has since gone to sem, became a pastor, and is now retired. My own son turns 16 next month. Since we are a little strained right now, I thought I’d share my father’s letter with him, showing him that I had similar dynamics with my father. When I googled for ideas for his 16th, I ran across your letter. I now clearly know what to do. Yep, that’s right…I’ll take him go-karting. Just kidding. I’ll do that, but I’ll also construct a letter to him a la yours and my dad’s. I hope he’ll keep his 30 years or more.

Thanks again,
Bob

Love’s work on mortification of sin was actually titled The Mortified Christian when printed by Soli Deo Gloria.

Love’s works, such as The Mortification of Sin, and The Dejected Soul’s Cure, are classics of Puritan spirituality like those of Owen, Brooks, Goodwin, Manton, etc. Hopefully your post will introduce many Christians to this great servant of Christ.

I am so guilty of being a consumer of truth without letting in resonate in my soul. Very convicting.
