New At Monergism Books

My buddy John at Monergism books has a bunch of new arrivals and, as I often do, I want to go ahead and plug him.  I'll do so by copying his e-mail to me into this post and encourage you to go by and check him out.  And oh by the way. When I copy e-mails into my posts sometimes the formatting gets a little goofy.  Apologies if this post looks goofy in your browser, don't let it influence you negatively - John's not goofy and neither are his books.

In the meantime we want to let you know about some excellent titles that we now have in stock both new and old that we want to get into your hands.
