   Now, where should you start? Someone recently asked me to make a list of some of the books I have in mind that are substance, not suds. Let me stress at the outset that I don’t think reading manybooks is important — not for the average person anyway. Reading good books — solid books, non-sudsy books, substantial books — is really important. And rea...

   First, two by J.I. Packer. Get Knowing God. Get A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life, which is a collection of shorter writings.

   I would point you to two by John Stott: Basic Christianity and The Cross of Christ. There are no Stotts left that I know of.

   This is the place to make sure that John Owen gets included. After Jonathan Edwards, outside the Bible, no one has fed my soul more deeply than this greatest Puritan writer who died in 1683.

   Let me close with a caution: Beware of reading for quantity to impress anyone. Read for your soul.

But our lives are short, and God has been merciful to give u...
