As a pastor-in-training, I have the privilege of being required to read the history of godly preachers of years past. We're currently reading "Revival and Revivalism", by Ian Murray. In it, Murray profiles various leaders in the first and second Great Awakening in America. As I read, I often struggle to battle against a sense of inadequacy. My spiritual life is so small and tepid compared to these men.

 A few years ago, my dear friend Bob Kaplowitz purchased a copy of Augustine's City of God for me as a gift. (You can read it for free here, or listen to it for free here.) I'm only ambling my way through it a couple pages every now and then, but I find it to be very refreshing reading.
