Currently I"m reading Flavel's, Keeping the Heart. It is such a wonderful book, so encouraging and stresses the dangers in our walk and how to deal with them, protecting our relationship with Christ!
Also I'm reading Calvin's Institutes and was surprised to find this book so very readable and enjoyable! I had thought it would be heavy and scholarly!
When I recently moved I took all but the reformed books to the used book store, keeping only the very best of reformed and puritan writings which I love!
Also we are doing a study in RC Sproul's, Surprised by Suffering and it has been a pleasant surprise to bring new thoughts and support to our sufferings of any kind.

I have spread myself kind of thin. I am reading Foundations of the Christian Faith by Boice, Knowledge of the Holy by Tozer, Christ all in all by Philip Henry( Matthew's father) and the Five points of Calvinism Defined, Defended, Documented by David Steele and Curtis Thomas among other things. I forgot that I am also reading another biography of Spurgeon.

I'm reading "Putting Amazing Back Into Grace" by Michael Horton. I'm ordering Dr. Horton's new book on Covenant theology and Kim Riddlebarger's new book about anti-Christ. I'm sort of half reading Jay Adams' "Competent to Counsel."

Also, I'm studying Arthur Pink's "Interpretation of Scriptures."

Not much at the moment. No time to read the stuff I really want to while taking classes. The only thing that could be considered semi-reformed would be Bernard of Clairvaux: Essential Writings, since reformers like Luther and Calvin were influenced by his writings and were known to quote him.;) Though not matching up completly, Bernard's view of free will was not too far off from Augustine and the later reformers.

After a long pause in my reading of Calvin's Institutes, I'm restarting them at where I left off last year (book 2, chapter XII, section 1).

Its slow going for me but, the more I read Calvin the more I am impressed by him.

Coram Deo,

I'm currently reading, on and off, depending on the day, week, and/or time that you ask me, John Owen's The Mortification of Sin (very good but tough going! 3 pages of Owen is equal to 20 pages of anyone else!:) ), Jeremiah Burrough's The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment (great, one of the absolute best books that I have found recently), Cornelius Van Til's Defense of the Faith (my first real book on presuppositional apologetics-- and not an easy beginning!), A.W. Pink's The Sovereignty of God (got sidetracked but I'm about to pick it up again, to read it all the way through this time! Thanks, McWilliams-- I like what I've read thus far!), and the book I love so much that I keep going back to reread passages over and over but that, Lord willing, I will actually finish one day-- J.I. Packer's Knowing God!

As far as what most SR'ers would call the first, and ultimate, "Reformed book," I'm currently reading Isaiah!
