Books I Plan to Finish Someday...

"The best laid plans of mice and men.........are about equal."

[These are now sorted into a list of abbreviations that I use in the CTT writings...hope it helps. I have also begun filing previous years books in their own file--to shorten file access times. I have all of 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004-2005, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, and most of 1995 books. I have added a small Resources on Christian Truth Claims, as well--but somewhat out of date now.]

New acquisitions...(and old "I brought them in from the garage" ones!)...

Also, note that these books are NOT uniformly cited in the technically-correct fashion, but only to the extent needed to identify/find them yourself.
