I have a good number of the books already. Don't forget that it was suggested that a copy of the Valley of Vision be used also.

I caught this on Old Truth. Which is probably where i will be posting on my reading. I will have a late start due to a tight budget so i will pick up the first copy or so at my church. Its a late start but i have five days vacation from work so perhaps i can get some reading done!

Just saw this thread, and I'm hoping to get caught up.
Does anybody know if The Bruised Reed is in the 30 CD Reformation Bookshelf set that Still Waters Revival Books put out?
