The Works of Manton in 22 Vols.

[jacobcandler1689]

My gracious wife let me purchase, recently, the Complete Works of Thomas Manton. I am decently far into the set, and I must say, there is something about reading the entire corpus of a given author. A sort of spiritual companionship is formed.

Has anyone especially profited from reading Manton? What do you think is his best work?

Not to cause any potential disharmony between you and your spouse; and not to remark on the purchasing of books; I am just commenting to say if you get yourself a good size tablet or foldable or detachable laptop, you can go to a site like https://www.puritanlibrary.com/ and download for free almost more Puritans than you could ever read at no cost and read them leisurely in PDF format. I know finances can be a big issue; this way you may not need to feel like you have to choose between good Puritan works and keeping the lights on in the future.

No problem, 12 inch tablets are fairly cheap now days, and that would be bigger than the original paper size the PDF's were printed on. I know you don't get to have the bookshelf in the background this way, lol; but you can build a huge library you can store on a flash drive and allocate those funds to other places. Anyways awesome collection either way.
