Thomas Brooks' "Works" is a wonderful set of books that are solid, sturdy, and edited well. Though the print is somewhat small, the outlines and italics make it easy to read and follow Brooks' discussions and divisions.What is more, the contents of Brooks' "Works" are biblical, level-headed, well-rounded, and applicable. Brooks was a Puritan who stood right in line with Reformation theology - specifically that of the Westminster Confession and Catechisms. Brooks knew about sin, he knew salvation in Christ, and he knew what it means to obediently serve the Lord. These books contain wonderful Christian exposition of many aspects of theology and the Christian walk. Brooks does go deep into the Scriptures and the Christian life, but that's part of the reason why he is so good: he doesn't merely scratch the surface like so many Christian authors do today. This is mature Christian theology which will help Christians mature in the faith. There isn't one line of "fluff" in Brooks.The reader may be a bit apprehensive about this set since it is somewhat costly (though sometimes you can find a used set for well under one hundred dollars) and since it is quite long (five thick volumes). If you're considering this purchase, here's my recommendation: First, read one of Brooks' books (like "Precious Remedies" or "Apples of Gold" or "The Mute Christian"). These can be found on Kindle for around one dollar.Second, after reading something by Brooks (assuming you want to read more) get the set and develop a plan for reading. Since the set contains many different books Brooks' wrote, you might just want to read one every few months.
