This is a short list of books that I value. I recommend looking at the websites of publishers like: Banner of Truth, Christian Focus, Evangelical Press, Presbyterian and Reformed Publishers, among others, and examining their catalogues.

Preaching and Preachers, David Martin Lloyd-Jones, Zondervan For pastors and preachers, I use as a devotional book, try to read through once a year.

Joy Unspeakable, David Martin Lloyd-Jones, Harold Shaw Publishers Title taken from 1 Peter 1:8, a presentation of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. For me, the biblical view of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, essential for preachers of the Gospel.

Pentecost-Today?, Iain Murray, Banner of Truth Along with the above book by Lloyd- Jones, we have a solid view of revival. Especially helpful in seeing the difference between the Reformed and Arminian points of view in regard to revival.

Revival and Revivalism, Iain Murray, Banner of Truth This is the book that got me started in 1997, rekindled, fired me up.

Spurgeon and the Hyper-Calvinists, Iain Murray, Banner of Truth This book helped me more than any other understand Spurgeon and see the difference between Finney influenced evangelical Christianity and grace Centered Christianity.

The Forgotten Spurgeon, Iain Murray, Banner of Truth Spurgeon is important to me because he stood between a dead, cold, unbiblical Calvinism on the one hand and Arminian thought on the other.

Who are the Puritans?, Erroll Hulse, Evangelical Press The Puritans are a wonderful study, rich, inspiring, and instructive. This book will be a treasure.

Churches Beware! A modern edition of Warnings to the Churches, J.C. Ryle, Evangelical Press The Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, great insight into problems facing the Churches.

Lectures to My Students, C.H. Spurgeon, Zondervan Spurgeon's lectures to the students at London's Spurgeon College. Another book I use for encouragement and instruction‹and as devotional piece.

The Soul Winner, C.H. Spurgeon, Whitaker House Spurgeon's central ministry was evangelism and it pursued it diligently. Here Are valuable lessons and instruction for those who share his passion.

According to Promise, C.H. Spurgeon, Baker Book House Never get enough of Spurgeon.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Bible, in 6 volumes, Hendrickson Publishers These volumes have larger print, and are simply easier to handle than the single volume. I love to consult Henry, it is rich and powerful, with views of passages I would never see.
