Why should I bid for Puritan Sermons 1659-1689?
I am glad you ask.
This 6 volume collection contains 171 sermons. And yes, that is two more sermons than other hypothetical collections which contain just a paltry and, quite frankly, insulting, 169 sermons...
Now I see that I have your attention, let me sweeten the deal for you.
What, I hear you ask, other than 4220 sweet pages of Puritan goodness, do I get for my hard-earned buck? The answer: Matthew Poole. Richard Baxter. Thomas Manton. Stephen Charnock. John Owen.
What's more, this collection also seeks to meet the theological needs of pet-lovers everywhere with a contribution from the veritable Dr Thomas Doolittle. Think about it, your Dachshund needs this...
In summary, this set is 'most precious' (which means it is at least 20% more precious than other precious collections). It is 'practical' and guaranteed to warm your heart (in both an emotional and biological sense... And no, of course that is not dangerous). To be clear, these are not my words, but the words of the venerable J.I. Packer. And what J.I. Packer says, goes. He was nearly in the Bible, you know.
But how much is this bountiful feast of theological opulence likely to cost? Judging from the current bids, this is likely to go over the top at $30. Think about that. What can you really get for $30 anyway?
Food, water, clothing for our children? Overrated, say I.
If science-fiction has taught us anything, under the right circumstances our bodies will adapt and extract all the sweet nutrients we need from the air. And that is science-fact. Mmm... the sweet, sweet raspberry-flavoured tang of city-air...
This is good news for Logos, this is good news for Messrs Poole, Baxter, Manton, Charnock and Owen and this is good news for you and I.

(For clarity, additional research suggests that Thomas Doolittle, Dr Doolittle and Eddie Murphy are, in fact, different people. And yes, before you ask, the internet is an utterly reliable source of information.)
