Can anyone suggest some really good books of contemporary and especially classic? I've got Tozer, Murray, and Ravenhill. Can anyone name some others that have greatly influenced their life? 8-)

I love seeing threads like this come up; it's neat to see what books God has used in people's lives to draw them closer to Christ.
Holiness - J.C. Ryle
The Christian in Complete Armour - William Gurnall
My favorite book is:
An Alarm to the Unconverted by Joseph Alleine
others:

E.M. Bounds on Prayer
Revivals of Religion by Charles Finney
The Mortification of Sin by John Owen
Brother Ben, i was going to suggest a few books, but i think it will take you about 20 years to get through that list so i will leave it for now!
Happy reading!
Yes, indeed, it will take me a lifetime to get me through all the books! I thank you all for your suggestions, and also for the links to previous threads that I could not find. Have a wonderful and God blessed rest of your day!

Rees Howell The Intercessor Norman Grubb this is a fantastic biography and extremely powerful. This man was totally sold out to Christ
The Spiritual Man Watchmen Nee
Mighty Prevailing Prayer Wesley Duwell
Absolute Surrender Andrew Murray
Life And Diary Of David Brainerd JOnathan Edwards
Shepherds Look At Psalm 23 Phillip Keller
Anything by T Austin Sparks I think one of the greates books written outside the bible is The School Of Christ if you read this book carefully and prayfully it will change your walk forever.
Apostolic Foundations by Art Katz. A rare gem of a book.
The Secret of the Strength by Peter Hoover was a major turning point in my life. It's available for free at http://www.gw.org/Sos/. It's about the Anabaptist movement. Peter Hoover also wrote a facinating book about the Moravians called Behold the Lamb.
