The Practical Works of Richard Baxter: Selected Treatises
I'm wanting badly to order this (stated more accurately, I'm salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs), but I'm a little confused by the description.
It says "This edition, The Practical Works of Richard Baxter is the most complete abridgment of Baxter's 23-volume work ..." and then lists the contents:
* The Saints' Everlasting Rest
* The Divine Life
* A Treatise of Conversion
* A Call to the Unconverted
* Now or Never
* Directions and Persuasions to a Sound Conversion
* Directions for Weak Distempered Christians
* The Character of a Sound, Confirmed Christian
* The Mischiefs of Self-Ignorance and the Benefits of Self-Acquaintance
* Dying Thoughts
Does anyone know if the contents are abridged, or does it just mean that other items in the 23-vol work have been left out? At this price, I guess it's a steal either way-- but I hate to spend money for something like this to find that it's been all hacked up.
Thanks in advance for any help.
