A Good Day at Half Price Books

The Missus and I (and "Peanut" -- our prenatal nickname for the little one she is carrying) decided to go out to Moe's for a late lunch today (they have that $5 burrito combo special starting at 2 pm on Mondays), and since it was only 1:45, we decided to kill a few minutes at the nearby Half Price Books. Oh, what a profitably day it was. I managed to pick up Leon Morris' book on The Atonement for only a dollar (it was on clearance), F.F. Bruce's commentary on Romans (part of the TNTC series) for $6, vol. 2 of Edward Young's commentary on Isaiah for $10, and vol. 1 of J.C. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on Luke for $6. Not a bad day for used book buying.

The Missus, btw, purchased a book entitled What to Expect When Expecting for only $6.

Nice. Young on Isaiah is very good, imho.

Here in the DFW area we have numerous Half Price Books, and our family loves to frequent them. You never know what you will find.

great buyings and great prices,
Bruce may be more mainstream but still a great scholar though.
