Meet the Puritans
One thing I would like to see in future editions of this book is a more thorough list of the best place to begin in reading the Puritans. The authors do offer a few suggestions, but they are only basic ones.

Best of all, it promises to be a book that will be updated as time goes on and as these great writings continue to be released.
