Summary: The Glad Goodness of God
Review: I never knew that Bunyan had done much writing aside from Pilgrim's Progress, but this collection from his many other writings makes me want to read all I can of his thoughts. The book opens with this thought: "No one can be happy or experience any goodness unless God communicates His own glad goodness, and nothing pleases unless it is a vehicle for God. God is the only good worth wanting." I found the rest of the book to be full to the brim of that same "glad goodness." I came away with a renewed sense of the joy and glory of God.

Summary: "Big John," truly anointed.
Review: The depth of understanding and the ability to put forth such complex ideas and doctrines in a 1600's backwoods preacher would have to be from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Later to find he was studied and read by C.H.Spurgeon sheds further light on this Spirit-filled man. AAM
