The Third Wave Toffler

The Secular City Cox

Science and Health M B Eddy

The Hidden Persuaders Packard

The books in the list are good but I somehow wonder why Packer’s “Knowing God” isn’t there and any (like Desiring God or Don’t Waste Your Life) of John Piper’s books.

one of the best spiritual books I have read is called “wounded by love” by a modern elder and saint from Greece.

http://www.amazon.com/Wounded-Love-Elder-Porphyrios/dp/9607201191

this is very difficult book for reading by some one who love God with his/her mind.
However, once you start to open your heart to the true “love” with purity of heart and humility, then you will encounter the divine LOVE which is the source of all loves in the Universe.
You will “see” God in a very new way that you never knew before.

How about Pilgrim’s Progress?

I’d add The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyons to this list. It is beautiful, tragic, real, and a way out of sin into human redemption and salvation. It mostly appeals to a female audience

Enjoyed reading your list of books. I am a little confused, however. Grace Awakening is a strong free grace book. Stott and Horton are very opposed to that soteriological view point. I am wondering what your position on Free Grace v. Lordship salvation is. If you have written on this already, forgive me. I will search your site more. Thanks.

Me,

No book or work has ever nailed it with regard to Limited Atonement. While I hole to limited atonement/particular redemption, I have never help to it to the degree that I do others. Biblically, a very strong case can be made for universal atonement. Logically, limited atonement fits better. I think that if any work ever claims to definitively give the right answer one way or the other, it is not being honest.

With this issue, I think there are some things that we are missing. Therefore, I tenatively hold to my position (but I could change tomorrow!)
