Osteen stated “I never knew you could say so much about God in such small books. I write big fat books and say hardly anything about God.”

Being such a big fan of Pastor Osteen, I want to bear testimony that I had ALREADY taken up the Puritan challenge, ordered the books, and secured my wife's agreement that we will do it in 2008. Although we had many of the volumes in electronic form, this will be a handy way to follow through. And, to think, Pastor Osteen will get the credit! (Actually Purgatorio is often a VERY funny satire site. Osteen Endorses Puritan Reading Plan - purgatorio.
My wife and I are planning to do the challenge this year -- seriously!

Good one, Scott. You had us going for a moment. I was almost rejoicing that the Lord had converted Olsteen.

Let me add that after reading the link it was a challenge to me to saturate my life in reading these books. I have read many of them, but I must confess I have not fully read Owen's book on Mortification of Sin.

Gee I would have thought that Joel would have passed on the challenge considering that "Gospel Worship" wasn't on the list.
