"I
have been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I must say, there is nothing like them
available anywhere.
It is the most amazing collection of works I
know of in one package to date.
In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
The
Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs is exceptional.
I
am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both
collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You
have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs
available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by)."

* It is SWRB's
opinion that Ages has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works
available on CD, so much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at
discounts. Thus, please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than
is warranted, as this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it
expresses his opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is
published, whether through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small
part in the revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that
is now taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication
of the best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of
our time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers
and authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even
(sadly) among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian"
and/or "Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of
the history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

"I
just received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In
all seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank
you for this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both
financially and technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service
to his people."

"You
all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily
available. Having them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a
rare book library with all of them in hand... I have found the CD set
invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

"It's
been several weeks now since I received the CDs and have had some time to
digest some of them. All I can say is, "WOW!" This is truly a
library like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own
personal worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!
I
pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now,
for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near
effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as
Covenanter, literature.
These
books are often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically
linked and indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig
into a simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic
material to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation
itself ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most
couldn't read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able
to afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we
are without excuse!
And
the significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have
to wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy
these CDs while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second
Reformations were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's
grace, will grow from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary
one. What they used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be
said of these CDs: they are "hissing hot"!

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The
first week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure
Gospel Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir,
I cant say enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side of
heaven, but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your
labor. God bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians
grow in the Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have
helped me in my Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I
am not bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The
Holy Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God
bless you all at Still Waters."

you so very much for the CDs.

I
cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in

this CD work is.
God
be praised that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the
work may not be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit.
His strength is perfected in weakness."

Item 1. M'CRIE,
THOMAS
Life of Knox. Containing
Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland; with Biographical
Notices of the Principal Reformers, & Sketches of the Progress of
Literature in Scotland During the Sixteenth Century (1855)
Iain
Murray, in his stirring introduction to Cunningham's Historical Theology writes, "The third event marking
the commencement of this spiritual movement was the publication of a book in
1811. It was the biography of John Knox by Thomas M'Crie. All over Scotland this work was used to
revive the memory of the great Reformer and nothing could have been a more
telling protest against the stifling influence of Moderatism. It brought many a
student and minister into the experience once described by James Fraser of Brae
in his Memoirs: 'When
I read Knox, I thought I saw another scheme of divinity, much more agreeable to
the Scriptures and to my experience than the modern.'" M'Crie followed
this up in 1819 with a biography of Knox's great successor, Andrew Melville
(Life of Andrew Melville [2 vol.], Hardcover photocopy $64.00;
cerlox photocopy $29.99), and these two books became known as the 'Iliad and
Odyssey of the Scottish Church.' Just as Homer's heroes fired the hearts of
many imitators so M'Crie's biographies aroused a holy ambition in many to
follow the noble example of these two spiritual giants." M'Crie's work is
an undisputed classic regarding this fiery reformer. It exhibits information on
Knox and the Scottish Reformation which has been hid in manuscripts and books
which are now little known or consulted. Knox may be the most pertinent first
Reformation Reformer to study in our day of widespread idolatry, theological
and civil pluralism, anti-Christian government, humanistic law, relativism,
false ecumenicity, and the revival of that "masterpiece of Satan,"
Roman Catholicism. Read everything that you can get
your hands on either by or about Knox; you'll never be the same again!
This is the full unedited text of 484 pages, not available from any other publisher
(to our knowledge).

Item 2. KNOX,
JOHN
The Works of John Knox
(6 volumes)
Here is a chance to touch the flame that ignited whole nations for
covenanted Reformation. John Knox is considered by many to have been the most
biblically consistent and thoroughgoing of all the great Reformers of the
sixteenth century.
"John Knox was in fact the embodiment of the Scottish Reformation as its
preacher, theologian, liturgist, historian, and catalyst for reform." (Hall
and Hall, ed. Paradigms in Polity: Classic Readings in Reformed and
Presbyterian Church Government
[Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994], p. 219)."With this
concern for purity of worship," notes Kevin Reed regarding Knox, "it
is no wonder that the Scottish Reformation was the most thorough among any of
the Protestant nations." (From the introduction to John Knox, True and
False Worship: A Vindication of the Doctrine that the Sacrifice of the Mass is
Idolatry [Dallas, TX:
Presbyterian Heritage Publications, 1550 reprinted 1994], p.14.). "I know
not," states George Smeaton, "if ever so much piety and genius were
lodged in such a frail and weak body. Certain I am, that it will be difficult
to find one in whom the gifts of the Holy Spirit shone so bright to the comfort
of the church." (Cited in Thomas M'Crie, The Life of John Knox [1831], p. 272.) The Works of John
Knox listed here is the
complete six volume set collected by David Laing, 1895. Concerning this 6
volume collection, Kyle, in The Mind of John Knox (p. 14) notes, "The only real basis for a study of Knox's thought must be the
writings of the reformer himself. From 1846 to 1864, David Laing collected and
edited nearly all of Knox's extant writings. This remarkable collection, which
scholars regard highly, is indispensable for any serious study of John Knox."

KNOX, JOHN
Vol. 1 - Unedited History of the Reformation in Scotland (Book
1 & 2) and 18 appendices.
Reid,
in his Trumpeter of God,
notes that Knox "wrote history as a prophet"
and that, wherever he could, he used original sources, many of which he
reproduced. Furthermore, he proclaims that this "is still a work that no
one interested in this area can afford to neglect." As W.C. Dickinson has
commented, "it is his monument, for in it he puts
flesh and blood on the whole Reformation movement." Innes (John
Knox, p. 45) says of
this work, "[t]he author who has enabled us to see his own confused and
changing age under 'the broad clear light of that wonderful book' the
History of the Reformation in Scotland,
and who outside that book was the utterer of many an armed and winged word
which pursues and smites us to this day, must have been born with nothing less
than genius -- genius to observe, to narrate, and to judge. Even had he written
as a mere recluse and critic, looking out upon his world from a monk's cell or
from the corner of a housetop, the vividness, the tenderness, the sarcasm and
the humour would still have been there." Moreover, Burton writes, "[t]here certainly is in the English language no other
parallel to it in clearness, vigour, and picturesqueness with which it renders
the history of a stirring period" (cited in Innes, John Knox, p. 45). This photocopy edition far
surpasses the edited down version that is available in paperback. Over 600
pages of stirring Reformation history.

(Hardcover
photocopy OUT OF PRINT) You pay $34.00 (US funds)
KNOX, JOHN
Vol. 2 - Unedited History of the Reformation in Scotland (Book
3, 4 and 5) and six appendices, index, etc.
"Knox
portrayed the origins and development of a movement and not a mere chronology
of events... Knox based his arguments on original sources and he often cited
the documents in full. When Knox's History is compared to the contemporary
vernacular narratives of Bishop Leslie and Sir James Melville, the superiority
of Knox's work becomes evident. For the most part, these writers were
preoccupied with petty details and had no conception of the momentous issues
that hung on the events they recorded... Knox used
history to demonstrate his single-track philosophy. And his philosophy said:
'The hearts of men, their thoughts, and their actions are but in the hands of
God.' Lee said Knox's History was a sermon without an audience, a preaching book, one
long inflammatory speech in behalf of God's truth as the reformer saw it." (Kyle, The Mind of John Knox, p. 13). Our editions of volumes one and
two of Knox's Works
contain the only full, unedited version of
Knox's massive History of the Reformation in Scotland available today.

Item 3. BROWN,
JOHN (of Wamphray)
A Pious and Elaborate
Treatise Concerning Prayer; & the Answer of Prayer (1745 edition)
"The
clear and Scriptural ardency of his piety from this well-know treatise is
apparent" wrote Burns, concerning this title (Johnston, Treasury of the
Scottish Covenant, p.
342. The publisher's preface notes that this was the mature work of one who
had suffered much for Christ.
They state it "is among his last works; which he wrote at the close of a
long walk with God; and in exile; while he was in Holland about 20 years, from
his banishment (Anno 1661) until he ended his days, and entered into the joy of
the Lord... Moreover the gentleman, now a minister, who procured this practical
treatise of prayer, in Holland, and brought it home, can attest that it is
genuine; and though many pieces on the subject be come
abroad before this, yet the intelligent Reader may find it is inferior to none,
and in some respects, preferable to any of them." Sample chapters
include: "The greatness of the sin of neglecting prayer, manifested, in 39
particulars;" "The Unregenerate are obliged to pray;" "The
necessity and usefulness of family prayer, manifested:" "Some
encouragements to prayer mentioned;" and much more. It is for works such
as these that Johnston (in The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 339) says of Brown that "(h)e
has been regarded (as) the most important theologian of the second period of
Scottish Presbyterianism."
Joel Beeke concurs, writing, "John Brown of Wamphray (1610-1679) has been
rightly called the most important Scottish theologian of his day. He was especially gifted at merging profound doctrinal truth with
warm Christ-centered zeal and godly piety. Samuel Rutherford wrote of him, 'I always [had]... a great
love to dear Mr. John Brown because I thought I saw Christ in him more than in
his brethren.'" 308 pages.

A Fresh Suit Against Human
Ceremonies in God's Worship (1633)
A rare facsimile from this Calvinist divine who was one of the most acute controversialists of his age. This highly influential Puritan theologian was assistant to the president of the Synod of Dort and Professor of Divinity at Franecker. He died in 1633. In this massive work, Ames aims at vindicating the Lord's sovereign Kingship in matters of worship (i.e. the regulative principle of worship). The summary and general thrust of the detailed and precise argumentation found
