While my wife bathed, I held little Seventy-Six and read to him from Thomas Nettles’ By His Grace and For His Glory, a book Amazon finds currently unavailable. Although I’ve just started reading this history of the doctrines of grace in Baptist faith and life, I find its style what I expect from a clear-thinking man who has got his mind around what it is he wishes to say. Seventy-Six listened for a long while as I read aloud, then began trying to turn a page after grasping it. Because I hadn’t finished reading that page yet, I gave him his blanket instead, and he soon fell asleep.
