David Powlison has become someone whose work I admire greatly. His lead article in The Journal of Biblical Counseling is always biblically rich in its encouragement and exhortation. His talk on restoring joy to sexually broken people at the 2004 Desiring God National Conference (which will be presented at the April CrossRoads weekend) was the single best presentation on the subject that I have yet to encounter. His new book, Speaking Truth in Love: Counsel in Community came into the office this morning and I'm really looking forward to diving into it.
I say those things, not only to recommend those resources, but to encourage you to go to the blog started by the wife and daughters of CJ Mahaney (director of Sovereign Grace Ministries) where Dr. Powlison posted a series of personal reflections on dealing with anxiety, anger and escapism in our lives. I can't recommend it highly enough...
