From time to time, I talk about new books that I am reading. However, there are old books that have been a tremendous source of inspiration to me over the years. If they are still available in print, you would do yourself a favor to pick them up. If you are interested, check them out on Amazon.com or else Google them.
Mastery in the Storm Duncan, George Christian Lit. Cru. 1965
Jack Shuler’s Short Sermons Shuler, Jack Zondervan 1952
Conversations with Giants Prokop, Phyllis Concordia 1964
The Glossolalia Phenomenon Horton, Wade ed. Pathway 1966
What Meaneth This? Brumbeck, Carl Gospel PH 1947
Hunted Heretic Bainton, Roland H. Beacon 1953
Celebration of Discipline Foster, Richard J. Harper & Row 1988
Trumpet in the Land Bennett, William L. Zondervan 1959
Divorce and Remarriage Duty, Guy Bethany 1957
Adventures in Faith: Abraham De Haan, M. R. Zondervan 1953
Portraits of Christ in Genesis De Haan, M. R. Zondervan 1966
Some of these are popular books, written by well known authors, like De Haan and Foster. Still, you would do well to own a copy for yourself. I consider the sermon by George Duncan, “The Danger of Illegitimate Desire” an absolute classic. Nearly all of Jack Schuler’s sermons are repeatable from any pulpit. The Pentecostal books are relevant because they address common objections to tongues-speaking with scripture and reason. Some ministers like books from the 19th century or the first part of the 20th century. I find their writing styles a little too quaint to be useful today, at least to me. Exceptions include E. M. Bounds, Clarence McCartney.
I do have many other books that I like, but I condensed the list to these. I may add to it in a later post. I will, however, mention a few older authors who have been prolific writers, and almost anything they have written is worth having.
