    And that's another good question to ask the beau! "How's your library look?"
    Absolutely. Never trust a man who doesn't read!

I'm thinking that Calvin's Institutes or Charnock's "The Existence and Attributes of God" would be good ones for this purpose.

    I have purchased three different versions of Calvin's Institutes. But that was intentional!

    I buy books all the time. I get extras. Mrs. Spurgeon, Ernest Reisinger, and I have a common love. Giving young aspiring men good books. I have also contributed to school libraries. You can't help young aspiring men enough. Even some old ones.

    I just bought a box a books from someone here. I didn't have 4 of them. So the rest are for giving away to good men.

    (2Ti 2:2) And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
    I believe passing on good books is also helping faithful men who shall be able to teach others.

    I love this kind of ministry.

    Not quite! Only about 40 psalters actually (mostly English, some French), not counting the Bibles I have which have psalters in the back.

    I was the blessed recipient of one of Randy's books some time ago, and much obliged I am.

    And you are muchly welcomed. I have seen the book Scottish Theology referenced a few times on this board. What a great find for you. I found that in a used bookstore down in Brown County Indiana. I love it when a book I give away fits the man.
