If you could recommend a book (other than the Bible) for someone that is very hungry for God; what would you recommend?I've got most of Ravenhill's books.I realize this is a vague question, but I thought I would poll you guys to see what you recommend.Thanks!
I realize this is a vague question, but I thought I would poll you guys to see what you recommend.There are so many great books to recommend.. I would probably suggest books that would challange and strech you to see the depth and width of the glory and love of God. Here are a few older volumes that will take some disclipine to read but will proof to bear much fruit in your life:The Complete chrisitan armor by William GurnallThe memoirs of Robert Murray Mcheyne by Andrew BonarThe Life and Diary of Andrew BonarThe Journals of John WesleyThe 2 Volume set of Wesleys sermons.The Life and Diary of David Brainard.
These are authors I recommend:Leonard RavenhillA. W. TozerDr. Michael L. BrownE. M. BoundsC. H. SpurgeonJohn WesleyCharles FinneyLife and Diary of David BrainerdJonathon Edwards
I like the New Covenant by David Wilkerson...But the Best book is The Book Written by GODSo my #1 Choice is The BIBLE :-P
I think every Christian should read 'Holiness' by J.C. Ryle.Also check out EM Bounds on prayer (especially 'Power Through Prayer')'Revival Lectures' - Charles Finney'Master's Indwelling' - Andrew Murraybiography of CT Studd - Norman Grubb'Rees Howells Intercessor' - Norman Grubb'The Enduement of Power' and 'The Revival We Need' by Oswald J. Smith'George Muller Delighted in God' - Roger Steer'The Pursuit of God' - AW Tozer'Being God's Friend' - SpurgeonSounds like you've found the best in Leonard Ravenhill (he's my favorite) and others have recommended David Brainerd - another great one!Also check out collections of John Wesley's sermons and the writings of Jonathan Edwards (particularly 'Religious Affections')Theology texts are good and commentaries are useful but these and others like them are life changing! Enjoy. :)
These can always get me in trouble...The list keeps getting expanded by all the suggestions.A.W. Tozer ~ Knowledge of The Holy ~ The Pursuit of God ~ everything else :)All the others listed, though some have still not gotten to ...yet.But personally right now...Oswald Chambers ~ The Complete Works It's huge!And more than just the number of pages, the depth and riches...
Oswald Chambers ~ The Complete Works It's huge!And more than just the number of pages, the depth and riches...I just got this!! :smart: I can't wait to dig into it! what riches and gems are found in so many of these old books! praise the Lord we can have them so readily.
A coulpe of months ago I read "With Christ in the School of Prayer" by Andrew Murray.And I have to say that it is the best book or my most favorite book apart from the bible.I saw someone had as a recomendation the biogaphy of David Brainard I just got it a couple of weeks ago and I can not wait to get in to it... Well I can until I am done with two other books first.
My Utmost For His Highest- Oswald Chambers (anything by Oswald Chambers)Humility- Andrew MurrayAbsolute Surrender- Andrew MurraySurrender- Nancy DeMossBrokenness- Nancy DeMossIn His love, Chanin
Like a Mighty Wind - Mel Tari
Anything by Spurgeon, my personal favorite.No Compromise - The Life of Keith Green.
Hungry for More of Jesus by Wilkerson is a great book. Power of Prayer by R.A. Torrey is good also. I just read Why Revival Tarries and Revival Prayers by Ravenhill. . .great, convicting books.
fresh wind fresh fire----- Jim CymbalaIt's great! :-D
The Jungle Pilot by Nate Saint. I would love to own a copy. I found this book in church library when I lived up in Maine. Being a pilot, I decided to read it. I could hardly read the book for the tears that filled my eyes and ran down my face. As an unsaved religious boy, I remember the event that this story leads up too. Somehow I could never get the picture out of my mind that was on the front page of our newspaper at the time. It was 1956. Not until the early '90's did I read the book. Now that I know the "Rest of the Story", the life of Nate Saint and his fellow Ambassadors for Christ will never cease to inspire my life. Even as I write this, tears begin to swell in my eyes and the Spirit move in my heart. You'll be so very blessed to read this book. You won't have to be a pilot or love flying to be engulfed with Spirit as the pages unfold. You won't be able to read much of it at a time, yet you won't want to put it down.

Hi Lahry,That the Lord bless you richly.The appreciation for your being in our midst.A quick search produced:http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1572930225/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-7574749-8387850#reader-pageWhere a few pages can be read.Another to add to the list growing list.
I don't own a credit card. Why don't both of you get this incredible story and live with me in it's pages. That would bless me so much more than owning a copy. Pages of words only become meaningful when they bless the heart. Get it and read it and them come and tell us what it did to your hearts. That would be joy, joy, joy.Thanks to both of you for your kindness and caring. May God's hand be upon all you say and do.In Him,Lahry
1 copy left now :-D
:-D Please email me so I can be sure to hear all about it. Hugs in Christ Jesus. God bless you richly.
First of all, thanks for all the suggestions, I will eventually, hope to aquire most of these. :-) I did buy "Oswald Chambers ~ The Complete Works" and must say I think I will truly enjoy this book.It's rather large, around 1500 pages, but I was able to get it on Amazon.com for $30.00 and plus it came with a companion CD-Rom!Praise God!Again, thanks guys for taking the time.
Let me throw another one in here that I strongly recommend to everyone...Pagan Christianityby Frank Violahttp://www.ptmin.org/pagan.htmKrispy
Couldn't but help react to this brotherI did buy "Oswald Chambers ~ The Complete Works" and must say I think I will truly enjoy this book.Was just pulling together the next bit for the other thread. The CD is great because it also has the interviews with their daughter and also "Abandoned to God" Which is not included within the pages of the book.Ah man, this is truly a treasure chest full of riches! It is tearing me up in the most profound way... I am rejoicing with you brother, feel like I found the lost ark :-D Edit: Thanks Krispy, had noticed that book in the travels as well, the list grows longer...
Well for me, it forces me to read carefully what these Men of God are saying. Sometimes, I find myself re-reading so I don't miss anything.I realize that nothing will replace God's Word, but to have people like Oswald Chambers and others, and their thoughts and comments, truly gives me a new insight to the Word.

Absolutely.The threads running right now on the word of God, Bunyan's 'computer', even the recent, more 'high profile' (just by means of his place in the worlds eyes), talking about Brian "Head" Welch the rocker turned convert.... his words have just embedded into me..."The book of life"By whatever means necessary, that we get into it but more so that it gets into us.
