Riley, I believe your pastor is talking of this book: The Revision Revised, as it's foremost and foundational to Burgon's text critical work. Though I would get the hardcover edition from Bible for Today (in the item # field enter HB0611), as it's more sturdy. And $5 cheaper than Amazon's paperback.
The other books mentioned, The Traditional Text... and The Causes of Corruption... are also excellent, and supplement the primary one. With regard to Mark 16:9-20, his book on the passage remains one of the best defenses even today (see below).
While Jay P. Green's works are very valuable, his compilation of some of Burgon's books in Unholy Hands on the Bible vol 1 doesn't have the footnotes and has a lot of typos, so I'd get the "straight Burgon" books were I you.
Another classic in the field is Dr. Thomas Holland's, Crowned With Glory: The Bible from Ancient Text to Authorized Version.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I ordered "The Traditional Text of the Gospels", and I'm finding it hard to put down, reading it morning and night, except when I'm working. For me this is a suspenseful thriller.
