4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful work but confusing edit by publisher,
By Kathy F. Cannata "Rev. Dr. R. Cannata" (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Richard Baxter (History makers) (Paperback)
No need to reherse all the beauty and power of Baxter and his ministry. Packer's quote pretty much sums it up "as a systematic theologian he is highly problematic, but as a practical theologian he is unmatched."His autobiography, of course, is full of insight, action and devotion. But the editorial work by Christian Focus here is confusing and difficult. There is no introduction explaining the methodology of the (unnamed) editor. Baxter's actual 1st person text is chopped into section, stitched together by 3rd person editorial and explanations. This makes for some rough going. At teh very least, I wish the editors had italicized or somehow distinguished Baxter's words from the editor's. There is a small but helpful index in back. The packaging is a little cheap looking and unimaginative. And the paper quality is not the best. My copy purchased in 1999 is already yellowing after just 6 years. At 175 pages and $11 it is not an expensive purchase, and the text is pastoral gold. I just wish Christian Focus had done a better job, as they often have.
