Indispensable!
I've read many books on "Christian living", all pale in comparison to this master. He is streets ahead of Stott, Piper, White, Schaeffer and the plethora of modern authors who've unsuccessfully (and I say that only after seeing Owen's acheivement) tackled this topic.

Excellent book, easy to read, right on. 'Nuff said
Owen rocks. I am thrilled I bought this book. I want to find the original language edition, as this one is abridged, but it is quite easy to read.

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ: A Treatise in Which the Whole Controversy about Universal ...

John Owen

Banner of Truth, 1959

Christýs Purposeful Death
John Owen's work, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, is the classic text defending the purposeful and actual procurement of salvation for sinners in the death of Christ. While characteristically portrayed as a polemical work on the Calvinistic understanding of limited atonement this work is actually much more. In brief, it is a defense for the perfect work of Christ, which actually ...

There's hope for you too in God's Abounding Grace
A lot of us are familiar with John Bunyan as the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, whose influence in Christendom is second to the Bible. Bunyan was a preacher, a prolific writer and a shining saint for God. However when we read this book we find out that he was an atheist and infidel in his youth, enjoying sin and rebellious towards God. Inwardly he suffered from tormented nightmares of demons ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Excellent Overall for 200-level class
Thoughtfully broken down into readable chapters by Baylis & Smith's cohorts at the University in Aberystwyth, this book will provide an excellent introduction to traditional perspectives on International Relations as well as more contemporary issues. It will remain especially useful for Social Science students due to its combination of clear and simple structure including key points, ...

The Pilgrim's Progress (Oxford World's Classics)

John Bunyan

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

A Bestseller since 1678!
I hadn't read this book in a long time, and when I first started it I thought, "Gee, I'm going to have to like it-how can I publish a negative review of the best selling books in history?" Fortunately, my fears were indeed unfounded. Pilgrim's Progress, despite its age, remains a book that makes you think, makes you laugh, makes you love God more. The book is an allegory: it tells the ...

The Warehouse Prison: Disposal of the New Dangerous Class
John Irwin

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

While prison populations in the U.S. increased almost tenfold from 1980 to 2000, studies of men's prisons have dwindled. For this reason, eminent criminologist John Irwin was impelled to examine imprisonment during this period, and he chose Solano State Prison as the site for his study. Solano is a typical example of a prison in which new, popular forms of technology and prison regimens have been instituted. The facility houses up to 6,000 ...

Authority without Power: Law and the Japanese Paradox (Studies on Law and Social Control)

John Owen Haley

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

For general study
It worth reading, I think, for social study. Legal view is general but essential to understand the roots of Japanese social model. It can be interesting for the politicians, not the lawyers.

Mortification Of Sin (Christian Heritage)

Owen, John

Christian Focus, 1996

If it is not real what good is it?!!

This book reveals how God, through the cross, can bring power into your life, if you want it. If you are sick of powerless empty Christianity and desire the cross to be applied to your heart unto freedom, here it is. Get it and share it!! Expect great ...

The Glory of Christ (John Owen Puritan Classics)

John Owen

Diggory Press, 2007

A Profound Treatment of a Vast Subject
Though Owen is in no sense an easy read, here is a work with a profundity that makes any amount of struggle well worth the effort. One senses, in the author a deep personal spirituality and an intense devotion to his subject. Though the work is several hundred years old it anticipates much of the modern discussion and no important issue is skirted. Owen provides a deep and finely nuanced ...

A Display of Arminianism
John Owen

Crown Rights Book Company, 1999

138 pages. First published in 1642. Of the seventeenth-century Puritans, John Owen was by far the most influential. His defenses of the Reformed faith were so articulate and precise that they stand unrefuted even to this day. In this book, Owen meticulously exposes from the Scriptures the heresy of Arminianism, or Semi-Pelagianism, and shows that its doctrine of free will stands opposed to the biblical doctrine of the sovereignty of God.

The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Environmental Change (Arnold Publication)

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 2003

What is a Geoindicator? What the heck is Geoconservation?
A must for researchers in quaternary geology, physical geography, and the like. Compiled by British geoscientists who like to throw an occasional a in front of the letter e (see title), but we can forgive them for this. Extensive bibliographies provided for most entries...for a change. If you're an earth scientist or student in need of the right words to describe 'the end of the world as we know ...

The Oxford Companion to Music (Oxford Reference)

Percy A. Scholes

Oxford University Press, USA, 1970

A unique classic
Scholes has produced a 1-volume encyclopedia of music that is not only comprehensive and informative but (unlike many music dictionaries and encyclopedias) fun to read. He does not shy away from opinion and his personal quirks are part of the charm. Tidbits such as the (speculative?) etymology of "basset horn" are found here and practically nowehere else. Oriented mostly to classical or ...

Edgell Communications, 1988

Great reference and learning tool for pros & laymen alike!
As a pest control educator, I have LOTS of pest control reference books. "Truman's Scientific Guide" is my most used book. While others may have some higher levels of specificity at times, Truman's is the best overall!

Very in depth
This book is for those who wish to Know God and deeply. No playing here. This is a very slow read. A great meditation book also.

Communion with the Triune God

John Owen

Crossway Books, 2007

First John Owen Read
Reading "Communion with the Triune God" was my first experience with John Owen. I had read from his commentaries, but never one of his works. Kapic and Taylor do an excellent job providing background for, summarizing, outlining, and updating the work. Although Owen wrote in 1657, the editors have changed (or defined) the archaic language and formatting in order to help the modern reader. I'm sure ...
