Top Comments of this video!! :3
When Suzie and I married, I asked her for the privilege of reading The Chronicles of Narnia to our (ten years in the future as it turned out) children. Our kiddos arrived as triplets - long story of God's incredible blessing on us that we had any kids at all - and when they were old enough (point being, all at the same time), I read them all seven books as our bedtime reading ... for a long time! What an incredible privilege! And it was so wonderful to share these books with the kids, and they loved them. No question when we become grandparents, the time will come when this treat carries on in the next generation.

I loved this video series! Thanks for putting all of this together! This took time, thought and effort. It is appreciated. My only question to you is, "where is love towards Randy Alcorn?" I know that you emphasized authors from the past and works that have and will prove through the test of time. However, you had a few modern authors and their works. . . I think Alcorn deserved some love. What do you think?

Hello Sir,
Have you ever heard of the Matthew Henry Bible Reading Plan? Someone put together a one year reading plan of Matthew Henry’s Commentaries (the unabridged six volume set) and it’s from Genesis to Revelation (like 15 pages a day to stay on track). My theologian for this year is John Bunyan. Next year, I intend to either read the works of Matthew Henry, or Jonathan Edwards, I haven’t decided yet though.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your list. Regarding Systematic Theologies; as a Baptist my three favorites in order are Robert Reymond's, John Frame's and John Gill's Body of Doctrinal & Practical Divinity. I generally find authors prior to the 18th-century difficult to absorb even if I agree with them once I determine what they are trying to say. I find it much easier to read Hodge than Turretin. I would like to know your thoughts on Robert Reymond. I am also curious of your thoughts on Gordon Clark.
Regarding literature my list would include Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte and Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, which is the best piece of Christian Literature I have read, far better than the 1951 film. The 2001 Polish film is very faithful to the book.
I first became a Christian in an extremely arminian church that fortunately also greatly encouraged study of scripture. After five years I was in crisis because I could see that the cult of libertarian free will was wrong but was indoctrinated to believe that monergism and the belief in the absolute sovereignty of God was heresy. R.C. Sproul's Willing to Believe changed my life like no other book save the Bible.

When God calls a man, He bids him come and die is also my favourite line!
