I found "Leonard Ravenhill's Top 41 book Recommendations" earlier, and started looking around for the books.I did alot of searching and found that some can be found at my "local" Christian bookstore. Well that was good, except there wasn't many. Also, the price for all of them would have been mid $500s.Many of us are students, so this might help. Some of books published are also available online for free! I think they are rare because they are out of print, as they are now available online. Enjoy the new list!

:-) If I'm not mistaken, you missed a really outstanding book called "Sodom had no Bible". Really it's just my opinion but it was an excellent book.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed just how different this list of recommended reading is to the one from A W Tozer? There is hardly anything here of the mysticism which Tozer was drawn to. Interesting?

I also noticed the difference between this and Tozer's list. Basically, Tozer had lots of works by strange, mystical Catholic authors. Tozer's list is floating around somewhere on the forums here. I can't wait to read some that are on Ravenhill's list. Just ordered "Christian in Complete Armour," "Fair Sunshine," and Ravenhill's "Why Revival Tarries." :-)

There are so many good books on this list.

Not for theology but for "knowing God"

Great list by a great man of God. This is a rich reference that needs to be re-circulated from time to time. I look forward to looking at these. Thank you very much.

I just received "Better Things from Above" by Gregory Mantle in the mail last night because of this list. I have to say, this is already shaping up to be one of my favorites as well. I can see why Leonard Ravenhill liked it. It is rare to find a synopsis of a book in the bible that has no agenda other than to revel in what exactly the epistle meant.

If the book of Hebrews has mystery in it to you then get this book. Thank you so much for posting this list. I never would have even heard of this book were it not for SI, as well as with many other things this website has turned me on to. What a treasure.

I find with every paragraph I read that my heart is soaring with heavenly expectation and renewed passion and hope in my Savior Jesus Christ. What a blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

These is a list on Amazon that has most of these on it. This list is for the Kindle, and most of what Ravenhill suggested is on there (and quite cheap, to boot!).

Hope this helps someone!

I would recommend the little biography of Samuel Morris. If you want to know what it means to live by a simple faith, to be filled with the Holy Spirit and trust God like a child who knows his Father cases and loves him, life of Morris is one of the best illustrations. His conversation in itself was a miracle.
