But what a man to start with, arguably the greatest theologian to have lived, the great John Owen! I've set the image of all the puritan paperbacks as my desktop background as a way of reminding me what I've read, and those to come. The fight with sin is lifelong, and oh how we need someone like Owen take the spiritual scalpal and cut deep, that real change and healing for the soul may come. Thanks Timmy, for taking the lead.

Thanks Timmy, for taking the lead.

I am brand new to this site and must say that reading list is daunting. I began reading Edwards back in high school [1965: yeah, I hear you:-)], through the encouragement of my American History teacher, who was also Reformed Presbyterian minister. Anyway, I am going to avoid going down Memory Lane, and encourage everyone to check out www.apuritansmind.com: a wonderful site, indeed! I am reading Dr. Owen's "Death of Death" right now at "A Puritan's Mind." Greetings all!
