Many bloggers have posted Top-10 lists of favorite books read in 2007.
Instead of throwing out a long list, I was reminded through something that I read today of something I mentioned in a sermon late last year about the best book I read in 2007. I said that Luther’s commentary on Galatians was a God-send into my life when I didn’t even know how much I needed it. Since reading it, I have had a hard time expressing why it was so helpful. Today, I saw that John Bunyan did a great job saying what I felt:
“The God in whose hands are all our days and ways, did cast into my hand one day a book of Martin Luther’s; it was his Comment on Galatians . . . . I found my condition in his experience so largely and profoundly handled, as if his book had been written out of my heart . . . . I do prefer this book of Martin Luther upon the Galatians, excepting the Holy Bible, before all the books that ever I have seen, as most fit for a wounded conscience.”
Taken from To Live Upon God That Is Invisible.
I’m not much for reading books online, but Study Light has done an excellent job of making Luther’s commentary very readable from the screen.
May Christ be yours in fullest measure!
