My wife and I came to Calgary to visit my parents this week, and celebrated Christmas late. I was very pleased to see that for Christmas my parents gave me the entire Puritan Paperback series. Yeah, I already have some, and some are abridged, but overall I am so excited that they got me something useful instead of something I would only waste time on!
 
I got Turretin and the two volumes of Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics that are now in English! (Plus several other books...)

I got mostly money and not many presents. So before I leave it all in savings, I'm going to buy for myself Calvin's Institutes and Berkhof's Systematic Theology, both of which, I'm sad to say in all my time as a Reformed person, I've not yet added to my library. I'll probably throw in another goodie as well.
 
My wife bought me "Political Sermons of the American Founding Era, 1730-1805" second edition in 2 volumes. Very cool.

I got "Theonomy: An Informed Response", "That You May Prosper: Dominion By Covenant", and an Encyclopedia set, 100 bucks, and bought a NASB and Here I Stand: The Life of Martin Luther.

I saw a box at my doorstep, which is usually a good sign. It was from Amazon. Since I had not ordered anything from them, a cold chill went up my spine. With a sense of trepidation, I carefully opened up the box.... A sense of impending doom welled up inside me...
Would my worst fear come to pass?
Yes. As I unwrapped the celephane, there it was, the disgusting abomination I had so feared....

"THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE"!!!

My heart sank into my stomach as my knees buckled and I sank to the kitchen floor crying, "Oh no! Oh no!"

By the way, true story!

That was good! Sorry to hear it's true though. I thought you we're gonna say it was "Left Behind"

Told very well. I actually anticipated a good outcome only to find despair and feel your pain.
