The PURITAN HARD DRIVE has replaced the CDs mentioned below, and is much superior to these CDs in every way.
"You may… want to purchase a collection of Reformed books from Still Waters Revival Books in CD-ROM format.
They have released an incredible array of 62 compact disks which contain over 2,000 titles of some of the best Reformation and Calvinistic books ever written.
It is by far the best and widest collection of Reformed literature ever assembled.
With capabilities to index and search through these classic authors, this set of CDs is a must for those who desire to read and study our Reformed theological heritage.
The president of Still Waters Revival Books, Reg Barrow, is to be highly commended for his insight and perseverance in placing these books -- many of them otherwise unavailable -- within reach of anyone who has a computer with a CD-ROM drive.
- From The Five Points of Calvinism: Defined, Defended, and Documented, Second [Special Anniversary] Edition, Updated and Expanded (p. 76, 2004, Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company) by David N. Steele, Curtis C. Thomas, and S. Lance Quinn, Foreword by Roger Nicole, Afterword by John MacArthur.
I was one of those who had profited much from using the plethora of out-of-print Reformation materials offered by Still Waters Revival Books in the 62 CDs (Puritan CDs and Reformation CDs) for a number of years in my ministry -- works that I could only have found in select libraries (usually hundreds of miles away from my residence).
With the CDs, it took a little while to go to the index of each set, locate the documents I needed, and then find the correct CD. Of course, the time was always well spent in finding that particular document that I needed.
However, now that I have the Puritan Hard Drive, I am able to use my time much more efficiently in finding that particular document I need by quickly searching for it and finding it in a matter of seconds. It's like going from "dial up" to "high-speed" Internet!
And for all of those documents that have a font that are in block letters, I am able to simply cut and paste from the Puritan Hard Drive to my own document with ease.
Amazing surprises do come in small packages!
May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!
