I work in a place where I have quite a bit of free time. My bosses don't mind if we are on the internet. I want to really take advantage of this time. Of course I read the Bible, but I was wondering if anyone would have any recommendations of good books I can find online. Some of my favorite books are "Bruchko," "In Pursuit of God," and anything by Ravenhill, for starters.
Good books found online?
The Zulu revival - One of the most convicting books I have ever read... http://www.kwasizabantu.com/articles/revival.htm
Deeper Experiences of Famous Christians 1911 version... Such a blessing to read about these saints. (Left hand side 'read online') I recommend reading the intro, and then skipping to Girolamo Savonarola... Historical christianity is what saved me out of a cult and gave me a better understand of God's workings with man... AWESOME stories! http://archive.org/details/deeperexperienc00lawsgoog
I can highly recommend the old Puritan writers, John Bunyan, John Newton, and John Angell James may be good writers to start with...

I recommend Born Crucified by L. E. Maxwell:

Books from David Servant:
http://www.heavensfamily.org/ss/books
^ I recommend "Great Gospel Deception"
I found many good books @ www.ccel.org by Bunyan, Samuel Rutherford,sermons by Spurgeon, etc.
As Ron said earlier, www.gracegems.org has excellent resources.
I also order books from www.banneroftruth.org - Richard Sibbes, John Newton, Thomas Manton, the Bonar brothers, etc.
I have downloaded tons of books from http://books.google.com that were "out of print" and free. On the left column after you search, it should read:
Any books
~ Preview available
~ Google eBooks
~ Free Google eBooks *** click this one***
And when you pick a book, in the upper right hand corner under your name (if you are logged in) it will have a gear type looking button, click that it will say "Download PDF." There are still many good out of print Christian (or not) books on there.
Read the Holy War by John Bunyan it can be found online many places :)
Thanks for the suggestions. I read the Zulu Revival yesterday and I enjoyed it. Any more of your favorites? I wish I wasn't so ADD becuase I have a difficult time getting into the harder reads.
Here is a excellent choice of free books online.
If anybody else is interested, I came across one the other day called, "The Evolution of a Creationist" by Dr. Jobe Martin. It was an easy read and he brought out several things that I had never considered.
Here is a link for books by Zac Poonen free to read online.

Also here is a link for some of K.P. Yohannan's books free to read or download in PDF format.
Here's a link to a Website I found today with full copies of free books online (incl. "Classics").
Have Fun!
Love-in-Christ,
KP
I am in the exact same situation! I am reading Pilgrims Progress right now! I think I acquired it via ccel but cannot remember.
Definitely echo what InTheLight said as far as "who" to read. Most Puritan writings have been reduced to mere tracts today. A sad loss for the faith. You have been given some great resources already, but simply google the name of a book and type "pdf" at the end and see what you get!
I can also recommend "Deeper Experiences of Famous Christians." I have uploaded it to Scrib and you can find it here:

I also recommend "The Three-Fold Secret of the Holy Spirit" by James McConkey. It can be found here:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/82870504/The-Three-Fold-Secret-of-the-Spirit-by-James-McConkey
There are also many many good Christian books to found at Christian Classics Ethereal Library:
http://www.plough.com/ebooks/wisdomofthesadhu.html Some writings of Sundar Singh. Very refreshing.
