I hope that I am posting this in the correct area, and if not I deeply apologize as I am still trying to figure my way around the forum. I have been a fan of John MacArthur's since I was 16 years old. I listen to him every morning on the way to work and I have read many books by him, which I find to be informative and probably one the largest reasons I have come to understand more and more the grace of God's love and His Sovereignty over creation and beyond. As many have read my introduction here when I joined the forum, I am new and somewhat old (without understanding) to the reformed faith but am thankful more than words could ever say or actions could ever imply for God's grace upon me and my family! I am curious to how many folks like John MacArthur and his works? I am wanting to study the Bible in greater depth to draw even closer to God as I seek Him daily which I know I can only do with heart, soul, and mind if I am truly saved due to the scripture saying this. My first commentary was Romans by William Hendriksen. I have recently borrowed a copy of my pastor's JM book on 1 Peter and have found it to be a very easy to read and follow commentary. I know they are greater writers than JM out there and probably even greater commentary writers, but reading 1 Peter by him just seemed easy to follow and understand, or it could be that God has just made me easier to understand things since I have come the believe of total Sovereignty over my and my family our complete lives. Anyway, any thoughts on JM and his commentaries would be greatly appreciated if anyone has read several or all of him commentary work. Thanks!
