Bill,

Another non-fictional book from which I learned a lot is:

The Church of Rome at the Bar of History, by William Webster.

Good day, All

I first would like to thank you all for your imput as I build my libary. While shopping for books over the W/E at borders it occured to me this is going to be quite an expensive undertaking. I do own lots of books that I have gotten over the last 15-20 yrs most are not of a christian type am a big fan of Robin Cook, Dale brown and alike.

Here is what I bought this W/E.

CS Lewis - Mere Christianity
St Augustine - On Christian Doctrine
St Augustine - His Confessions
RC Sproul - Willing to Believe

I have now $100.00 left to buy other books with.


Thank you again,

Bill

My advice: Take those back and visit a few used book stores - if you have more time than money. You should be able to pick up all or most of these used at a fraction of the cost. However, for Augustine be sure to get a good translation.

You also should have something by Bonhoeffer in your library, probably Discipleship (the title of the new translation - the older translation is sold under the English title The Cost of Discipleship).

 

[Lotar]

Even at borders you can get most of those books for under $10. I got The Confessions for $8.

Just for emphasis, Luther's commentary on Romans is excellent.

Amen!!!! How could I have forgot Bro. Nee! Indeed, before I bought the book, I printed (yes the whole thing) his book from that very sight.

Not only the joy, but the freedom from striving his teaching gives! "Not I, but Christ liveth in me!"

Oh man! I can tell we are gonna be great friends! Now we have 2 cool things in common, Christ and this book! So Glad to meet you PatrickM. You are actually the first person I have come across who has read this book, isn't that amazing?

God Bless

Glad to meet you, too! Aside from my brother-in-law who recommended Nee's books, you also are the first person I've heard reading him.

I was thinking, actually, "Sit, Walk, Stand" is a good pre-quel to reading Normal Chrisitian Life. Have you read "Spiritual Man"?

God Bless

I didn't even have to think twice about this...ABSOLUTELY...the THRU THE BIBLE WITH J. VERNON McGEE volumes! "Put the cookies on the bottom shelf!" A tremendous, and uncomplicated verse-by-verse explanation of the entire Bible.

But, since you have that already, alongside that I use The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, (one volume) from Moody Press.

ShetlandRose

I totally agree with you there. There is no need for me to think on this one. My answer is definitely J. Vernon McGee's Thru The Bible. The fact that it is so, as you put it, verse-by-verse informative. That just leads me to want to dig deeper into what the Bible has to say about different things that I am woundering about. Awesome series!

 

[ChristianRocks]

Tell me where I can find these books and I'll give them a try. I live in Canada so finding books can be hard at times. But I'll do a search on Google. Thanks Patrick!

What about "Chosen but Free" - Dr. Norman Geisler?

 

[Eusebios]

I highly recommend,
EusebiosThe Way of The Pilgrim and The Pilgrim Continues His Way

What about "Chosen but Free" - Dr. Norman Geisler?

Good Day, Patrick

Is this the book that Mr. Geisler wrote in an attempt to refute James White's Potter's freedom?

BBAS

It is a beautiful day here in SoCal. Hope it's well where you are.

Actually, Dr. Geisler's book is a refutation of Sproul's book, hence the similarity in titles (and my grin ).

James White then attempted to refute Dr. Geisler's book. Mr. White's points were succintly answered in a new edition to Dr. Geisler's book, with an exhaustive addendum.
