Howe is first on my list of things to acquire... would be WONDERFUL if they reprinted it.

What's wrong with Mead's Almost Christian Discovered? I thought it was a fantastic book.
Howe's Works are a real treasure. Even though I paid a lot of $$ for them, I do hope they get reprinted.

As for Almost Christian, it is a classic aimed at shaking carnal security in nominal believers. Beeke and Pederson say, "Caution should be exercised in giving this book to new converts because its contents could discourage them."
