What would be your top 5 books other than the Bible which specify what the Doctrines of Grace are? I have several books on the subject, but would put these as my top five, in order:



1) Elisha Coles - A Practical Discourse on the Sovereignty of God
2) Philip Doddridge - Practical Discourses on Regeneration and on the Scripture Doctrine of Salvation by Grace through Faith
3) John Owen - Justification by Faith
4) John Bunyan - The Doctrine of the Law and Grace unfolded
5) Thomas Boston - The Fourfold State of Man


What would yours be?
 
Martin Luther's The Bondage of the Will and John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied were both instrumental in my embracing a reformed perspective on the doctrines of grace.
 
I recommend "The Doctrines of Grace: Rediscovering the Evangelical Gospel" by Philip Graham Ryken and James Montgomery Boice
R. C. Sproul wrotethe Foreword
 
Here are three that I have read (at least in part) and have benefitted from greatly. Each of these are broken up in an organized and focused manner. They are pretty clear cut and simple. I would recommend them be given to someone investigating Calvinism for the first time.

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination (Boettner)
The Five Points of Calvinism: Defined, Defended, and Documented (Steele, Thomas, and Quinn)
Living for God's Glory: An Introduction to Calvinism (Beeke)
