Chosen By God by R.C. Sproul

I cannot think of a more influential book other than Scripture that grew my understanding and appreciation for the Doctrines of Grace. This book was helpful in my understanding of divine election, man’s free will, God’s sovereignty, and assurance of salvation. If you have any questions about the topics just mentioned, I encourage you to pick up this book and allow it to refine your understanding of these doctrines, as well as the character of God.

Evangelism & the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer

If God saves some and not all, then why did He create those He knew would not accept His gift of Salvation? And how does the answer to this question affect the Great Commission? These questions and many others are addressed in J.I. Packers seminal work on man’s responsibility of evangelism in light of God’s sovereign will in salvation.

What is Reformed Theology by R.C. Sproul

What is Reformed Theology was one of the first books I read after I started taking my walk with Christ seriously. While the book can feel academic at times, the book is approachable and understandable. A majority of the book focuses on the five points of reformed theology and reminds the reader of man’s depravity but God’s goodness in spite of our condition.

Morning & Evening by C.H. Spurgeon

This devotion by Spurgeon is irreplaceable. I have found many other devotional books to be a little shallow. Not this book! Spurgeon’s depth of theology and rich word use creates a beautiful work that only spurs our affection for Christ. Do yourself a favor and pick up this devotion, combine it with Scripture reading and prayer, and allow God to work through your quiet time.

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

This allegorical tale follows an adventure taken by a man named Christian after he leaves his home in the City of Destruction. Bunyan’s most famous work is illustrative of the lives we live as pilgrims on our way to the Celestial City.
