Hearing from Calvin, second hand

Went to an AMAZING "bookshop" last week, well, more of a house stacked FULL of second hand books... some very old indeed... was great to pick up some Calvin commentaries for under a £10... brilliant... Romans for a fiver, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians set for £2 - remarkable! Lightfaded pages, and the names of previous owners in the cover... intriguing! I was reading through his on Daniel... and was probably most struck by the prayers that he starts each section with. Here is a man who understands his natural position before the Sovereign God, and the unmerited grace and favour shown to him from Him! I should put some up on here actually! Here is a man who most definetely knew his God!!!

Indeed... give the Colonal a call... it's defo worth a visit... but make sure you have a vague idea of what you're looking for - there A LOT to plough through...

Maybe make a trip down next year ;-)

Don't leave me out of that one... the librarys feeling a bit airy.

(though I would be under strict instructions from the wife not to buy any more books)
