For Our Saturday Night Readers

'Anonymous' was right again - the mystery preacher was indeed Jonathan Edwards; see 'Do You Know This Man?' posted on 10/20.

Tomorrow morning we will consider a familiar passage of Scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, following an outline Edwards preached in the 1740's. For those of you who like an advance look, the passage in 1 Corinthians 13 and the epistle 1 John would be good reads.

I've been stirred on the topic of love, the central thought of 1 Corinthians 13, as I've been reading a couple of books lately. (See the right hand menu for the entire list of books I'm reading now.) The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning paints a picture of God's love for fractured people in a way few books have captured. The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey also gives us a portrait of Jesus that is heart captivating.
