This was a great purchase and a great deal. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and the packaging and shipping was fantastic.

I saw Dr. Beeke recommend these in a YouTube interview with Joel Webbon. Dr. Beeke remarked how almost everyone who started reading the Puritans talked of how godliness started to grow in them. I decided to order and I have been very pleased with them thus far. I have often struggled with assurance or whether or not I have truly repented unto salvation. These books offer great exhortation AND HOPE for someone who often feels downcast and hopeless. The Puritans say with one voice, "FLY TO CHRIST! WHOSEVER WILL, DRINK THE WATER FREELY!" Christ is our only hope. Turn to Him today. Thanks for the recommendation!

The upgrading of your Puritan books into modern English is the best decision RHB has made to date. It has made timeless classics on vital subjects relevant and appreciated by the modern reader. Most Christians, including Reformed believers, don't read the Puritans because they can't get past the language barrier. It takes work and effort to read the Puritans in the old writing style. Especially when you consider that most media today is visually oriented, in order to have an even playing field, you have to make the text comprehensible and remove the roadblocks to that goal.

Bought these for church library. These titles have stood the test of time. Wish they were bound more suitably for the rigors of long term use. They would be well worth the additional cost.
