Just got "Puritan Treasures for Today" from Reformation Heritage. These are great for beginners into the Puritans like myself. Enjoying them so far and would highly recommend! I also have, "Sure Guide to Heaven" by Joseph Alleine. Looking forward to getting into it.
I was lately warning a friend to not listen to a orthodox priest because they don't get the gospel right. So i think i would have say don't read Baxter, for he didn't get the gospel right.
Great suggestions. And great doctrine. I’ve not actually read any of them. But I’ll get them ordered as soon as I quit typing this message. Thanks a lot
Currently reading " ALARM TO THE UNCOVERTED" - (Currently titled "SURE GUIDE TO HEAVEN by Joseph Alleine)"...and its so beautiful and soul touching. Good to see you recommened by top PBs.
Loved "The Mystery of Providence" by John Flavel Two not mentioned but hitting me in the heart were "The Bruised Reed" by Richard Sibbes, reaching people who have been damaged "The Godly Man's Picture" by Thomas Watson, describing 24 characteristics of a Christian. Looking to order my next one right now.
My favorite kind of topic! I have developed an affection for the old dead guys and wish I had gotten into them sooner! My current fave is Matthew Mead’s Almost a Christian. Thanks for the book suggestions!
My top three other than the Bible are. Foxe's Book of Martyrs, Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, and The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution, for Cause of Conscience by Roger Williams.
@@Underdogtheology I was born and raised in RI. Although often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, the concept of a wall of separation between state and religion can be found within Williams' writing: When they [the Church] have opened a gap in the hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world, Wikipedia
Dean, thank you for recommending Baxter. So many moderns neglect or, worse, despise that book. It is gold as you know I find it interesting that in your recent stream on Johnson, Peters, and JD Hall, you complained in a side note about Johnson taking shots at Ortlund's book Gentle and Lowly. I think he was right for warning against that book for the very reasons you and I like the Reformed Pastor. Ortlund and Crossway are just feeding more junk food to the Church. Now, I know what you're thinking, "but Jesus IS gentle and lowly." Of course he is, but he is not only that. That's precisely the problem with Ortlund's book. What the American Church needs is the Reformed Pastor. If only Phil Johnson and all other MacArthurites would follow it... Would love your thoughts. Blessings,
@@mattshiff appreciate your honesty. It’s not always the case, there’s plenty of obvious garbage books out there, but I do think reading this one for yourself would be helpful before condemning it.
@@Underdogtheology When I get a chance I'll read it, seriously. The quotes I've read are problematic and those critiquing it are wiser men than me, but I'll read it to make sure I come to the same conclusion. Blessings,
