{"product_id":"2940014831598","title":"The Book That You Want; Or, \u0026#x2028;Portions for All People and All Periods","description":"The book we wish for, is not always the book we want; because our minds are not always sufficiently enlightened to know exactly what we want; and sometimes they are under an improper bias, so that we do not wish for what we really want. If we wish for what we really want — it is probable that we shall be satisfied; for it is much easier to satisfy our wants than our wishes. Different people want different books, because some need instruction, some consolation, some reproof, and some impression. No one book, if it is a consecutive treatise upon any one subject, can meet the wants of all, or all the wants of any one. But a book made up of short pieces on many subjects, may contain something that all want, though not all that each one wants.\u003cbr\u003eThe object of this little book is, to present so many portions of divine truth, that it may contain something that every reader wants; so that each one may say, \"It contains, at least something, that I want.\" But we often want a book to present to another, in which there is something that we think will meet the case, without the title, or the running subject, appearing to be personal. The parties we wish to benefit, may be saints, or sinners; professors, or making no profession. The subject we wish to set before them may refer to their state, or their duty. We may wish to encourage, or correct; to convince, or to comfort; to lead to Christ, or bring back to the profession of Christ. Now we cannot expect to have separate books, on every distinct subject; nor does it appear desirable; for besides the expense incurred, they would not be read. A few books touching on many points — are more likely to be useful.","brand":"JSmith Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080488370416,"sku":"2940014831598","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014831598_p0.jpg?v=1763616227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014831598","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
