If you could keep only three books other than the Bible what might they be? I believe mine would be;E.M. Bounds "On Prayer, Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan and Lectures on Revival by Charles Finney. God bless, John
Mine would be A. W. Tozer "Knowledge of the Holy," John Eldgredge "Wild At Heart," and C.S. Lewis "Chronicles of Narnia." Great thread. Good idea.
Why Revival Tarries-Leonard Ravenhill
Apostolic Foundations-Art Katz
When Heaven Invades Earth-Bill Johnson
As of right now...
The Cross of Christ ~ John Stott
Above all Earthly Pow'rs: Christ in a Postmodern World ~ David Wells
The Pilgrims Progress ~ John Bunyan
Sorry thingsabove, but i've got to include a 4th book, a secular one at that, a book i've just completed:
PR! A Social History of Spin ~ Stuart Ewen

With my large book collection, mostly books I haven't had time to read yet, I could never choose. but as long as I had my Bible, I guess I could do without the rest. :)
My Bible, Strong's Concordance, and My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers.
1. The Holy Bible
2. The Christian in Complete Armour
3. The Complete Hymns of Charles Wesley
Brother Paul
1. Joel Osteen - Your Best Life Now
2. Joyce Meyer - Battle Field Of The Mind
3. Benny Hinn - The Anointing by Benny Hinn
LOL! That is a JOKE for those of you that cannot READ the SARCASIM.
Paul Mcgrade
This is a great question though, very hard to pick from because I still got like 30 other books I havn't even read. Maybe by then I will have found my favorite 3, I'll keep looking as I read through them.
Hi brother,
I would have to keep my,
1. KJV
2. The Kingdom that Turned the World Upside Down
3. Martyrs Mirrors
I could live my life reading these...
bro Doug
From what i've read so far:
E.M. Bounds On Prayer
Watchman Nee The Normal Christian Life
Leonard Ravenhill Why Revival Tarries
1. Joel Osteen - Your Best Life Now
2. Joyce Meyer - Battle Field Of The Mind
3. Benny Hinn - The Anointing by Benny Hinn
LOL! That is a JOKE for those of you that cannot READ the SARCASIM.
Paul Mcgrade
NOW THAT WAS FUNNY...YOU GOT ME :-P
The three other books I would believe to be essential if I could have only four is:
1. Strongs concordance.
2. A current Webster's or Heritage dictionary.
3. Zion's Praises, a hymn book with 815 songs - all with four part harmony.
ginnyrose
1. Webster's 1828 complete dictionary
2. Methodist Hymn book
3. Pilgrim's Progress
1)Sodom had no Bible...Leonard Ravenhill
2)NKJV Open Bible
3)Dakes Annotated or JS Expository
Mine will be:
*The Feast of Tabernacles, by George Warnock
*The Book of Daniel, By Russell Martin Stendal
*From Tent to Temple, George Warnock too
And if one author can be added as just one book, I'll say that all George Warnock's books may be packed on my cuitcase. ;-)
Ooops, Double Post...
Hmmm...Besides the Bible,
1.)Rees Howells: Intercessor
2.)The Pursuit of God - Tozer
3.)The Christian in Complete Armour - William Gurnall (though I am only half way through it)
But, I love all of the classics. Has anyone else read Ress Howells: Intercessor? Ravenhill recommended it in one of his sermons. I am really inspired by the life of Mr. Howells.
Also, I heard that Tozer wrote the entire book, "The Pursuit of God" on a single train ride. Has anyone else heard this?
-K_DAY
Three books besides the KJV:
1) Purpose in Prayer by EM Bounds
2) Spurgeon Gold by Ray Comfort
3) Great Soul Winners Who Were Filled With The Holy Spirit by John R Rice
1) Cross and the Switchblade-David Wilkerson
2) Necessity of Prayer-EM Bounds
3) Seven Pentecostal Pioneers-Colin Whitaker
I will probably replace #3 on this list with Christian in Complete Armour by William Gurnall, but I can't truly say that having only read about the first 30 pages so far!
1.)The Bible
2.)"The Spiritual Man"-Watchman Nee
3.)"One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven"-Mark Cahill
1) Practice of the Presence of God - Brother Lawrence
2) Let Us Pray - Watchman Nee
3)Sermons of Jonathan Edwards - Jon Edwards
Runners Up: Journals of George Whitefield, Morning by Morning - Spurgeon, Christ of the Indian Road - E. Stanley Jones, and The autobiography of Wiliam Booth.
DO
I Pet 4:2
Also, I heard that Tozer wrote the entire book, "The Pursuit of God" on a single train ride. Has anyone else heard this?
1)They Found the Secret by V. Raymond Edman
2)The Best of A.W. Tozer
3)Gunfight at the O K Corral by Stuart Lake (just kidding)
Real #3)The Gospel of Healing by A.B. Simpson
1. Holy Bible: King James Version
2. Matthew Henry's Commentary (in one volume)
3. (There's too many...) I love AW Tozer's writings
Great thread...
God bless you,
richie
1.) The Holy Bible: KJV
2.) Matthew Henry's Commentary (one volume is nice, but I request my complete set!)
3.) Riders of the Purple Sage - Zane Grey (my favorite novel of all time)

Mr _CKP :
3.)"One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven"-Mark Cahill
I am curious: what does the author of this book say is the one thing you cannot do in heaven?
Thanks!
ginnyrose
Hi Ginny, I just picked this book up after listening to the audio book on the author's website.
The one thing is witness to unbelievers. it has been great in challenging me to talk to people about Jesus and tell them the Gospel.
if you want to check him out, Greg has some of his sermons on Sermon Index.
his website is markcahill.com
Heh.
I'd choose firstly the Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition, the complete set.
And I can't choose the rest. :-)

Actually... there are more than just one thing you cant do in heaven. You cant sin. You cant get sick. You can feel sadness... etc etc.

You are right, Krispy, but Mark's message is all about challenging Believers to start sharing Christ with unbelievers, so that is what he focuses on in this book.
...and my message was to add a tad bit of light humor to an otherwise very rainy day here in NC.

You did! I just thought I would add more explanation for anyone with questions. Sorry if I sounded like I was rebuking you. :-P

It's not "THE" one thing..it's just one thing. And it is witnessing. Talking to a lost person about Christ.
