    Made Out Well at Half-Price Books Today

    I wen to Half-Price Books today and got all of the following for $35 (after taxes!):

    1. A Six Volume set of Matthew Henry's Commentaries (Hendrickson, 1991)
    2. Theology of Prayer by B.M. Palmer (Sprinkle Publications)
    3. Thy Word is Truth by E.J. Young (Banner of Truth Trust)

    All were in great condition except for one minor flaw on volume 4 of the Henry Commentaries.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    Arrghhh. Just just reminded me that HPB was having a 20% off sale yesterday, and I missed it.

    Of course, I'm all caught up on my book reading and have room for reading tons and tons more!

    They always have copies of The Purpose Driven Life for $1 or $2. I even once saw a copy of Theognome's favorite book: Benny Hinn's Good Morning, Holy Spirit. I could get one of those for you.

    Hey, hey, HEY! You stay out of the Bluemound store; that's where I've been treasure hunting!

    I, too, took advantage of the 20% off sale. I found:

    Contemplating Aquinas
    The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas
    Philosophy For Dummies
    Logic and Contempory Rhetoric (9th edition)
    Elements of Argument (6th edition)
    The Consequences of Ideas (R.C. Sproul)
    The Portable Atheist
    The Problems of Philosophy (Bertrand Russell)
    Why I Am NOT A Christian (Bertrand Russell)

    All for about 75$. I never knew about this store until reading a thread about it here. Woohoo!
