Infant Baptism God's Ordinance
Is this just another book on infant baptism? No. It is possibly the best succinct, yet comprehensive work on the subject ever written by a puritan.

Then he meets Charley, grieving for her dead father, the murder victim, and they determine to find out the real story behind the murder.
