I have appreciated christian books but as person suffering with depression i have cut down a lot of my reading as it was leading me into lot of confusion. Off late I have been focusing mostly on reading the Bible.

Sorry to hear about the tough season you are going through, @supersmart671. One danger of a video like this is the impression it can create that a good reader reads in bulk, which is not (often) true. As Mark says in the interview, echoing Lloyd-Jones, 'there are Puritans and there are Puritans' - some are better equipped than others to minister to us in our time of need. May you find peace and strength from the Holy Spirit as you hide His Word in your heart.
