Add this one ASAP!
Knowledge of the Holy (AW Tozer)
It’s a short, but rich read and there are many places online where you can read/download it for free.

This is probably the simplest, but most profound work on Theology Proper I have ever read. So many of our problems would go away if we would just think rightly about God!

Thanks Clearly. I was in my Christian bookstore today, and I almost bought Tozer -I hestitated, because the only person I have heard quote him used him to back up their Arminian understanding of election….

Verity,
He is the only “Arminian” revered by most Calvinists:)
I don’t think he was as Arminian as most people say he was. You’ll just have to read him…

Sheesh. What about a novel or some poems for a change? Reading christian books only makes my head ache.
