Suggested Reading
a very good Initial and Advanced Reading List.
Also I wouldnt be without The Sovereignty of God by AW Pink
Wow, so many replies!! I'm thrilled!! I believe our edification should be a top priority and since these men had so many great things to say, this would be a great place to start.
Now for a challenge to all of you: Due to being a poor and starving college student (ha), would y'all be so kind as to narrow it down to around a dozen books? Let the debates begin

Aww shoot! I wish I could be adopted by y'all too. My dad hasn't lead family worship in years and I miss it tremendously. I'd be thrilled beyond words if he'd at least sit down for 20 minutes once a week to read these great words to his family. Also, if any of you fellas have any words of advice as to how I can explain to him (GENTLY) that it is his calling as a father to lead his family in worship... And any other advice.
Thank you much, Blueridge Reformer! I'd love to make that a poster and put it on my closet door.
I really like the Puritan challenge for 2008, that one probably has my top vote thus far. But I'll let all y'all narrow it all down amongst yourselves.
Thank you all so much again!
Do the Puritan challange. twelve good books for $65 is hard to beat.
I highly recommend The Complete Works of Matthew Henry (2 Volumes) not to be confused with Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible (6 Volumes).
These two volumes contain his many treatises, sermons, and tracts.
I don't know if they are still in print, or what they might cost...but the first treatise in volume 1 "The Pleasantness of a Religious Life" should be required reading for all Christians (in my opinion).
In volume 2 there is a wonderful little piece called "A Discourse Concerning Meekness and Quietness of Spirit" and "A Sermon Concerning the Catechising of Youth" which are just fantastic!
Most people have read Henry's Commentaries, but I find few who are acquainted with these other writings. They are well worth whatever you might have to pay for them.
