Catherine F. Vos
The Banner of Truth Trust, 1970
family time
This book was recommended to me by a friend. I love this book!! My kids (7,4) and I read a passage every morning after breakfast. The stories are easily understood by my kids. They are short and capturing. Sometimes my kids will ask questions regarding our reading. I enjoy this special time with my children. Most of all it is coming from the Bible!!

George Whitefield: An Anointed Ministry, An Impassioned Heart
Well, I finally saved up the money and sprung for this two-volume full-length account of the life of George Whitefield. I had whetted my appetite on the abbreviated volume "George Whitefield: God's Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century" by the same author. I can honestly say this is one of the best investments I've ever made. Reading the life of such a great ...

Religious Affections16 reviews
Jonathan Edwards
Banner of Truth, 1961
Rich, Rewarding, and Convicting
This is one of the great devotional Christian classics of the 18th century, but it still packs a mighty punch today. It began its life as a series of sermons preached by Edwards to his Northampton congregation in 1742 and 1743, and was first published in 1746. Edwards discusses the place of religious fervor and feelings in the Christian life. For those who prefer a more staid and serene Christian ...

Valley of Vision: A collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions87 reviews
Banner of Truth, 1975
Amazing Devotional
Valley of Vision is an incredible collection of Puritan Prayers that can serve as a great devotional for the true Christian. The humility, praise, and love for the Lord expressed by these Christians is awe inspiring and truly uncommon in this day and age. I whole-heartedly recommend this collection of mediations for the Christian following hard after Christ.

Christian in Complete Armour16 reviews
William Gurnall
Banner of Truth, 1964
Best classic work on spiritual warfare
Compared to this great Puritan work, most modern books dealing with spiritual warfare appear dwarfed, and even trivial. Gurnall's massive exposition of Ephesians 6:10-20 is the product of a series of sermons preached in his church over many years. The book is at once profoundly biblical and at the same time always relevant.
William Gurnall lived during a time of great spiritual conflict in ...

Doctrine of Repentance (Puritan Paperbacks) (Puritan Paperbacks)13 reviews
Watson
Banner of Truth, 1988
When Sin is Bitter, Christ is Sweet
Repentance is a word whose meaning and the force thereof has been incredibly diluted and cheapened. I am one of those responsible for doing so and therefore, like many others, need to be rebuked and corrected. I have known of no exposition on repentance more forceful than what Pastor Watson does here, who begins with St. Paul's address in Athens recorded in the book of Acts that God commands ...

Today's Gospel: Authentic or Synthetic?11 reviews
Walter J. Chantry
Banner of Truth, 1970
God's Gospel-His Power Displayed
Pastor Chantry writes with a concern that addresses many of the the shallow and careless evangelistic methodologies that are still widely prevalent today. While evangelistic zeal for the lost is essential,zeal which is according to knowledge is equally important. The book highlights in places the great danger and harm that can be caused by misplaced zeal. He uses the Lord Jesus' personal ...

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels8 reviews
J. C. Ryle
Banner of Truth, 1987
Every preacher should own this set
The Bishop JC Ryle probably wrote these expository thoughts over a 100 years ago. But his comments on the text are timeless and very practical. He has a wonderful gift of being able to glean the messages and the points in each scripture. And he is a master at applying the scriptures to comtemporary life. Having said that, like all other expositions of holy writ, you need to use Ryle's work ...

Iain H. Murray
Banner of Truth, 1994
An Historical Analysis of Revivals
Dr. Iain Murray is one of my favorite authors. His writings are engaging and enlightening. I have not found a work of his yet that was not well researched and documented. This work is no different.
In this work Dr. Murray takes a look at modern revival movements and modern evangelism through an historical analysis of where the revival movement begin in the United States in the early ...

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones the First Forty Years 1899-19396 reviews
Iain H. Murray
Banner of Truth, 1982
A Great Portrait of a Great Man
The First volume of this work by Murray shows the dynamism of a man who strived for Christ-Exalting Power. After reading the is biography I can only ask myself, "Can such men live again?" What made Dr. Lloyd-Jones so used by God? I suggest at least three factors: 1) He placed the origin of revival at the proper source, God. His theology of revival was supremely theocentric. He knew that true ...

Elizabeth Prentiss: More Love to Thee6 reviews
Sharon James
Banner of Truth, 2006
A must read for Christian women
I first read Elizabeth Prentiss' most famous work, Stepping Heavenward, about 10 years ago during the fall semester of my junior year of college. The main character, Katy, exemplifies a woman of noble character who cares for her family, loves Jesus, and is passionate in her pursuit to be more holy. Not only did this book completely change the way I view womanhood, it has become one of my ...

The Reformed Pastor8 reviews
Richard Baxter
Banner of Truth Trust, 1974
A Call to True Sacrificial Ministry
The Reformed Pastor was actually very different than I anticipated, being nothing about reformed theology or even theology at all. "Reformed Pastor" actually means reforming pastors, using the word the same way we would say "reformed hardened criminal." Hmmm. I guess that already tells you this book isn't one of those "feel-good" books.
Richard Baxter was famous for two things: being a ...

This is a great book! Buy 10 and give them to your friends.
This is a must read for every Christian. With a high view of the LORD and His Word, Thomas Watson delivers a practical, Christ centered, treatise on what a Godly man will be characterized by. In his usual lucid profundity, Watson articulates and illustrates biblical truth without muddying the water. This book is truly edifying and is without a doubt one of my favorite books of all time. If you ...

Charles Hodge was one of the foremost reformed theologians of the old conservative Princeton group. A distinguished man of letters and hermeneutic scholar he presents the encyclical of Paul to the church at Rome in a logical and systematic manner with philological references throughout. Dr. Gorden H. Clark considered it to be the definitive work on the epistle. The commentary will be more ...

C.H. Spurgeon
The Banner of Truth Trust, 1984
Getting Back to Basics!
How did it happen that we've moved so far from our purpose as Christians? All creation waits for us - the Christian - to be revealed so that they too have the hope that is within us! Spurgeon once again gets us back to basics and teaches us about ourselves so that we can fulfill the call - the way God intended. I read the first half of The Soul Winner on a flight from Colorado to Ohio and ...

The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction7 reviews
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Banner of Truth, 1981
Doctrine Made Understandable
Most believers (including myself early in my walk with Christ) somehow believe that doctrine divides, that it is unimportant, or that it is only necessary for the "professionals" of the faith! As Sinclair Ferguson writes in his excellent, understandable, and practical book, The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction, "The conviction that Christian doctrine matters for Christian living is one ...

Fair Sunshine6 reviews
Jock Purves
Banner of Truth, 1985
Inspiring Story of Men and Women Kept by the Gospel
In an age of easy believe-ism, Jock Purves' classic Fair Sunshine, is a much-needed reminder that, as Bonhoeffer wrote, "When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die". We take freedom of religion for granted here in America. These stories of the martyrs of the Scottish church in the 17th Century are great reminders of the cost that all believers must be willing to bear if they are to take ...
