| | | Best $$ I've Spent in a Long Time (Dabney's Discussions)
I picked up the 5 vol set last week, and have been burning midnight oil ever since. Starting reading the 5th volume, and can't put it down. I've a number of these large sets from other authors, but rarely get into reading them. Dabney, however, is awesome reading.
Some other new books: Gospel Worship-- Jeremiah Burroughs. Got this one for Father's Day. About 1/3 of the way through it. Good stuff too! James I: The Fool as King-- Otto Scott. Looks interesting. A Method for Prayer-- Matthew Henry The Messianic Character of American Education-- R.J. Rushdoony

Had to take advantage of it. Soon I'll be stuck with Lifeway and a few little Charismatic shops as the only Christian bookstores in town. |

Dabney's Sensualistic Philosophy would make a nice addition to those 5 volumes. | | The Following User Says Thank You to NaphtaliPress For This Useful Post: | |
