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

Local bookstore. The owner's shutting it down soon and was willing to match CVBBS.

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.

Nice. Our church library has a copy.

I'd better buy my wife some shoes before purchasing any more books.

Did you previously mention this book on the PB? If so, I must have missed it. I just read the description in the link you provided. Wow! Sounds like a great book!

I will place my order tomorrow (pay day).

Mostly essays and articles on a wide variety of topics theoogical and secular-- points of doctrine, philosophy, public education, the papacy, worship, the war between the states, book reveiws, biographical sketches, and even a poem that goes on for a hundred pages. Lots of interesting pieces like this--WOMEN'S RIGHTS WOMEN

Need to pick up the rest of Dabney's series; I only have secular and philosophical...
