“Man Overboard!: The Story of Jonah”

Sinclair Ferguson’s study of Jonah, entitled Man Overboard!, is being republished by the Banner of Truth. I have yet to read anything by Professor Ferguson that was not worth reading. I was looking for this book a few months ago, and eventually found a couple of copies on a well-known book purchasing website. I promptly wrote to the stores selling this title to suggest that they had made an error in their listing, and could I have the book for £10.40 or £12.70, as surely it wasn’t selling for £104 and £127. A note from one seller confirmed that the comedy pricing was accurate, so – with an electronic snort of indignation – I ditched the notion of a quick purchase.

Needless to say, I am delighted that the Banner are republishing this, and at the slightly more reasonable price of $12 (probably about £6). I don’t doubt that this will be worth getting, reading, and digesting. I can’t remember whose book recommendation suggested that one should sell his second-best pair of trousers to buy a given volume, but at least now you won’t have to put your entire wardrobe on Ebay in order to get this particular treat.
