I want to compile a list of books to recommend to new believers, and those outside of the Reformed viewpoint:
What three books(excluding Scripture) has the Lord used most in your life to get you where you are today, in your understanding of our God, and in your spiritual walk? And in what way?
Here are mine to start off with:
I. The Art of Divine Contentment -Thomas Watson
What a beautiful, convicting book by Thomas Watson. Written around the command to be content in all things, he attacks the discontent of our hearts, and exhorts us to strive to be like Paul when he says that he has learned to be content in any circumstance.
II. A Door Opening Into Everlasting Life- Andrew Gray
A book extolling the holiness of our Lord, and stirring us to look on our Saviour and His life and sacrifice, and to respond with a holy lifestyle.
III. Rock of Our Salvation- William Plummer
Reading this will cause your heart to cry out with both sorrow and joy. With the sorrow of our sins, and our Saviour's pain in His sacrifice at Calvary. And with joy in the love and mercy of the wondrous Prince of Peace.
