    Nice reading list! I could tell ya read a lot (you inspire me to read on).

    Hey I know Olivia and Mimi. I know them through our old church in SD.

    Hey you should pick up,
    Casper Olevian Substance of the Covenant: The Double Benefit of Christ by Scott Clark. Olevian is one of the writers of the Heidelberg Catechism, great book worth the dough or you could request it at the lib.

    And Covenant, Justification, and Pastoral Ministry edited by Clark. Book is awesome dude, covers the Covenant Redemption, law and gospel, covenant of works, etc.

    How was the A Treatise on Regeneration – Peter Van Mastricht? Was thinking about getting that.
