Great books!
Bridge's "Pursuit of Holiness" was greatly influential in my early life as a Christian. You have many books on this list that I haven't read yet (I need to read more!), but I can heartily many of these with you!
I know such a list could go on forever, but from my experience, I would add Piper's book "Future Grace".
Although I've just started reading it (along with a couple of other brothers), I think Owen's book on Sin and Temptation deserves it's own place of special honour on every Christian's shelf!
Thanks, Nick!
Great list as per usual Nick.
Hey wanted to invite you to visit our Winter Conference over the holidays downtown to let you into the feel of Campus Ministry with C4C. Interested?
Oh also, need you to get back to me about speaking at York this term.
Sweet!
Merry Christmas to you and Jen!
