Not every selection seems “devotional” but Ryken’s helpful comments and scripture references on “Most Glorious Lord of Life” by Edmund Spenser definitely was. As a literature major, I appreciate the explanation, historical context, and comments on style and structure.

“The Pulley” by George Herbert 🩷 great poem, and I had never read it before. Helpful explanation by Ryken.

Still slowly making my way through this book.
