Richard Sibbes (1577–1635) was an English pastor and theologian. A leading Puritan, he influenced George Herbert, John Wesley and Charles Spurgeon.
In his book Preachers and Preaching, Martyn Lloyd-Jones noted, “I shall never cease to be grateful to Richard Sibbes, who was balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil… I found at that time that Richard Sibbes… was an unfailing remedy. His books The Bruised Reed and The Soul’s Conflict quietened, soothed, comforted, encouraged, and healed me.”
This book is a meditation on Revelation 22:20 — "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
