15 Books other than the Bible that have been instrumental in my life:
1. The Attributes of God by Arthur W. Pink
-Perhaps one of the most lucid, concise, biblical, God-centered books on the character of God ever written.
2. The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul
-A modern day classic that sets forth and applies the glorious Holiness of God in various facets.
3. The Gospel According to Jesus by John MacArthur
-A resounding exposition according to the Scriptures. The modern classic polemical work on preaching the True Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
4. What He Must Be...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter by Voddie Baucham Jr.
-A convicting, biblical, gospel-centered book that leaves no stone unturned. You will never look at marriage, manhood, and womanhood the same ever again. A true game-changer for any parent, man or woman.
5. Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen
-This book continues to be the standard work on what constitutes true, biblical, Christian orthodoxy and religious liberalism. It draws the line in the sand and leaves no stone unturned.
6. Preaching and Preachers by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
-A monumental work written by a true preacher of the Word of God. The wisdom gleaned from these pages will leave everyone with a new-found understanding of what it truly means to preach and be a preacher of the Word of God.
7. The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter
-The most clear, biblical, practical book ever written on being a pastor. A true classic that demonstrates what it means to have a pastor's heart.
8. The Conviction to Lead by R. Albert Mohler Jr.
-The book on Leadership. A modern day classic for those who are leaders, or are aspiring to be leaders. You cannot lead without conviction.
9. Well-Driven Nails: The Power of Finding Your Own Voice by Byron Forrest Yawn
-A self-examining work that allows you to glean not only from godly men whom you can learn from, but also in it, discover your own voice in declaring forth what "Thus says the LORD."
10. Studies on Saving Faith by Arthur W. Pink
-Perhaps one of the most convicting, biblical, Christ-exalting, polemical works ever written on the subject of what constitutes saving faith. You will never see the Gospel the same ever again.
11. A Long Line of Godly Men Profile Series edited by Steven J. Lawson
-A jam-packed series of short, weighty, meaty, concise books written on the lives of godly men who themselves are worthy to be emulated (Philippians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 11:1).
12. Recovering the Gospel Series by Paul Washer
-A glorious biblical exposition of the True Gospel of the Scriptures. Textually-driven in every way. A must read series for any believer.
13. The Forgotten Trinity by James R. White
-The best biblical, practical, clear, understandable apologetic work written on the Glorious Godhead. A book you will find yourself learning a great deal so that you may not only defend the doctrine of the Trinity, but also love the Holy Trinity.
14. Always Ready: Directions for Defending the Faith by Greg L. Bahnsen
-Written by a Christian Philosopher, this work lays forth the biblical apologetic methodology that needs to be utilized when asked to defend "the reason for the hope that is within you." (1 Peter 3:15) The author's treatment of Acts 17 alone is worth the price of the book. The case set forth in this book cannot be ignored.
