Below are a few books that I recommend for good spiritual reading.
Pastor Gillman
Order
"Sodom Had No Bible"
by Leonard Ravenhill
|
|
"Leonard Ravenhill writes with the power and unction of
John Wesley. It is impossible to read his works and still remain
uncommitted."
When you read this book you are likely to come to the same conclusion.
Here are twenty burning essays on the need of spiritual awakening and ten
chapters on the impressive lives of remarkably effective Christians who
were leaders in true revival. Such an array of truth is bound to make a
lasting impression on you.

"Holy Spirit Revivals"
by Charles Finney
|
|
Finney's ministry led to some of the
most amazing revivals that occurred American history. As he recalls those
events in these pages, he reveals the secrets to maintaining the power of
God in your personal walk with Him. Discover how you can have a joyful,
Christlike life that is continually revived by God's power.

Order"The Life and Diary of David Brainerd"
by Jonathan Edwards
|
|
We live in a day of "easy believism". The days we
live in are also sadly characterized by a Christianity, which
implies that life is supossed to always be easy for the child of
God. The reader will see both of these delusions dispelled in the life
story of David Brainerd. Brainerd, was willing to undergo great hardship
to take the true gospel to the natives of his day. His life shows all
Christians what happens when "glorifying God and enjoying Him
forever" becomes ones chief aim in life. This certainly is not a
chicken soup for the soul book that can be read with little thought. This
book, however, will challenge every Christian to live for the glory of
God.

Order"Song of Songs"
by Watchman Nee
|
|
Watchman Nee, with his simple yet profound approach to life
in Christ, leads us deeper into understanding the relationship Father God
desires with us as He prepares us to become the bride of Christ.
Nee reveals a God-centered purpose to this often misunderstood treasure of
Holy Scripture. For those who regularly underline key passages and
thoughts, there are two options. Put away your markers or be prepared to
highlight the entire text. I found it difficult to read large portions at
one sitting due to the depth of discovery revealed by this wonderful
saint's insights. It's an exellent challenge for those who want to draw
ever nearer to the Lord.
