Sola Scriptura publishing has this:

Quote:
# A Disputation on Holy Scripture by William Whitaker on CD. This CD contains scanned images of the work entitled "śA Disputation on Holy Scripture, Against the Papists, Especially Bellarmine and Stapleton."ť This is edition is taken from the 1849 Parker Society.
Price: $9.99
Does anyone know how this compares with the recently republished version?

Lots of good sites for books have been mentioned, but as the owner of a Christian Bookshop in the UK, can I make a suggestion?

After checking all the info and reviews on the internet, go to your LOCAL Christian Bookstore, and ask them to order what you want, if they don't have it in stock.

This is what the Banner of Truth Trust ask customers to do, as there are many shops in the UK that don't stock their books, simply because they don't think their customers want them.

The more good books you order from your local store, the more likely they will be to stock them - and you have helped to increase the availability of good books to your local area.

Try it and see - you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

allow me to suggest http://www.pilgrimdiscount.com ... it's a local store here in portland (they ship books too) that has an excellent selection of used books... the only christian bookstore in portland that i'm aware of that has a THEOLOGY section (with tons of reformed resources) and an OLD PATHS section featuring the puritans, augustine, calvin, luther, machen, spurgeon, ryle, etc... i seriously spend so much money there and i still can't afford to get everything i want... alas, they do indeed peddle religious knick-knacks and christian trinkets (yuck), but i guess they have to make some money somehow...

I have chosen some more books out of my library and will be posting some of them in the "Let's Do Business" section in a little while. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! There will be some really good deals!

Evangelical Bible Bookstore San Diego CA.

Here is the website of a little bible bookstore in San Diego CA that I've done business with for years. They are not the typical "fluffy" bookstore that you find nowadays. I know the owner John Cully. He is a member of Bayview OPC in Chula Vista CA or at least was when I knew him. Their selection is unrivaled as far as I'm concerned. And their prices are fair.

If you are looking for somthing in particular that they don't have listed online you only need email them and if they don't have it, they can usually get it.
Check em out.

I remember that place. You should have seen it when it was back on 82nd Avenue. It started out with all good stuff. Bad stuff started trickling in. After they moved over near the Phil Am Center they began looking more like Christian Supply.

Addall is a really good used book search engine. It will find most of what is out there from many sources.

And of course if you want to read Gordon Clark, then The Trinity Foundation will have what you are looking for. Most Clark books are also available through Amazon.

Addall is my favorite used book search engine, and The Trinity Foundation is full of goodies.

From shortly after my conversion, when I was somewhat snared in Pentecostal teaching:

The Dake Bible
The Collected Works of Smith Wigglesworth
And a couple Rick Joyner books, can't even remember their titles.

Also, due to an undergrad research project I did for my bachelor's:

Most Moved Mover
The Grace of God, The Will of Man
The Openness of God

JDWiseman I STILL use a Dake Bible as my MAIN study bible. I have had it since mid 90's so I'm just so used to it & it has so many markings on it. It's the one that I know where everything what side of the page, etc. Kind of funny now that I'm Reformed & I really don't agree with almost anything from Dakes "thelogy". I do like the concordance & some of the Greek/Hebrew notes etc. Also excellent on cross references. My pastor is cool with that though.

Yes, this is a very fine store; I've been patronizing it for about a decade now. John Cully is in his mid-70s now and is transitioning the running of the store to some younger folks, but he still pops in several days a week. I was just there about 3 weeks ago and it's still the same seriously Christian store it's always been. He started it in 1971 when he got out of the Navy.

A great bookstore. John and his wife, Sandra, really have a heart for Christ and sharing the truth of the Gospel. I was saved as a direct result of reading books from their store and their witness. Now I own the second branch of their bookstore......

I used to buy from this outfit occasionally, but haven't for several years, mostly because of rumors about their theology.

Are they heretical; or, if not heretical, at least deeply eccentric?

With all due respect to hard working independant Christian bookstores, I just choose Amazon (Amazon.ca in my case). Sure, I'd love to support small and personal Reformed booksellers, but more often than not it is more trouble than it is worth.

First of all, you have to find booksellers that are nice, have half descent service, etc. That is hard enough in and of itself. Secondly, even booksellers that are "good" and well-respected tend to be a little sluggish on the customer service end of things. And sometimes a little sloppy around the edges. I can think of one particular Reformed book seller that I would LOVE to order from. They have GREAT stuff and some pretty good deals!! But on my first try they botched stuff so badly (in terms of customer service) that I wouldn't want to try again.

With Amazon I get nice service. No rough edges. They've delivered smoothly for me over and over again. They have most of what I want, except for very rare titles. They are efficient. Independant/small sellers rarely can compete with their pricing. With Amazon I get my books in a timely manner, cost effectively, etc. And I get free shipping if I order over $50 of books.

Maybe I am too pragmatic, but saving money with better service gets me more books in less time with less headache. Sorry "little guys", you'll have to do a lot more than you are currently doing to snatch me away from Amazon.ca

P.S. I'm not sure if Amazon has an Australian department? But I wouldn't suprised.

Welcome to Timeless Christian Boooks

They have all of Jay E. Adams books as well as a number of other books that aren't always readily available elsewhere, like James W. Dale's tomes on baptism.

Free shipping for orders over $15 too.

I'm curious to know if anyone here has used them. Most of their books appear to be at a pretty substantial discount, although I haven't checked them against RHB, CVBBS, etc.
