I could sit down and listen to Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley talk all day; such refreshing men of God!
About a year ago I purchased all of the books mentionend in this video. And even though I haven't read a single page yet, I feel greatly encouraged and spiritually edified by just watching and touching them. Unfortunately my wife has left me for spending most of our family savings. But hey, you have to set your priorities, right?
Haha I went to Grove City College at the same time that Rev Hughes’ daughter was there. I guess I was never invited to one of those evening studies, sadly! I’m going to need to yell at some folks for not telling me about it!
God bless you Joel Beeke, Paul Smalley, and all those at RHB. May God continue to showcase His majesty through you and others who are guarding and spreading our faith and heritage of God, the great *I AM* !
For what it is worth, I didn’t notice the musical strums that much until several of you brought it up. It really didn’t bother me though. I was okay with it. I guess I was busy making my list and checking it twice. Lol. This will take a few years to get all the books mentioned.
More videos like these please! It helps a lot in choosing the right books to give to fellow saints as gifts. I also encourage you to make a video like this one for each of the 84 puritan works you will be releasing. You both have excellent chemistry working together. Perhaps also consider making monthly videos suggesting books on various puritan doctrines.
I have come to appreciate and enjoy the readings of the puritans. My number one favorite is Richard Baxter. And the other puritans such as John owens and Thomas Boston I've come to cherish and to appreciate. And God willing To read many more of the other puritans. Shalom to you.
Heaven Taken By Storm is one of the best books ever written. Primer on the Christian life and transformation. Thank you, Dr. Beeke, for this recommendation.
Really enjoyed this video, but the music in the background is a little busy and distracting.
Great presentation. How distracting is that music?
Thank you both for inspiring me to get back into the Puritans. God has preserved their works for such a time as this. Thank you for your ministry.
So thankful for Joel Beeke’s passion and commitment to pastoral ministry. May you receive a crown!
Oh I love this. I just bought The Existence and attributes of God by Stephen Charnock from you guys. I am finishing up Knowing God then I will begin Charnock's book. Thank you for expanding my wish list and for existing. Your company is such a blessing.
Charles leiter justification and regeneration is also worth reading. There is lots of books to read and so little time 😢. God bless . Knowing God by J.I packer is my first book I read as a Christian. I believe that’s the one you’re reading unles is by A.W Tozer
@@ezequielarce8079 yes, I'm reading the one by Packer. Thank you for the recommendation. I completely agree, so many books, so little time. I'm always open to new suggestions.
@@ChristIsLord247 very profound truths in all books. The one I’m suggesting talks about the work that God does. If we are justified then he has also started a work from inside and out. You can look up the pdf and even the first chapter will grasp you. God bless.
Fantastic idea to get folks in touch with the Puritans. You can still read BOOKS when the internet is down. That actually happened to us today!
This was awesome! More videos like these please :)
I liked the presentation, but found the "annoyingly" incessant musical "strums" in the background to be very distracting and unnecessary
Me too!
😅
Agreed !
There's always gonna be naysayers 😅
Thank you so much for sharing such a great list of books for our spiritual edification. God bless😊🙌🏼✝️❣️
Excellent! Thank you very much!
Background sounds!! Why?? 😭
Thank you so much Dr. Beeke and Paul for this video! I am fairly new to the Puritans and their history. I’m fortunate to live in Massachusetts where parts of their stories in America has ta ken place. Sadly where i’m from God seems the farthest thing from our modern world!
I’ve had a hunger to learn about the Puritans .
Your recommendations on these book have been of much help. The lives they lived has been very inspiring for me in my daily life! I’m not the brightest or most educated man around but am happy to learn in my walk! I pray I continue to grow and raise my family to trust and believe in The Lord!
-God Bless!!!
Fascinating, really helpful video - but please turn off the irritating background music!
In here Indonesia is difficult to get Puritans titles. I am planning promoting Puritans in here because not many Christians seeing the worth of significance of Puritans Movement
Do it man. This is a good idea. ill pray for u
thank you for the recommendations !
Brilliant and praise God for all your work and exposition of the rich christian heritage. Chun Bulus Chun
Looking forward to ordering your books.
This is a fantastic resource! I'd love it if y'all did this for other areas of church history (early church, reformation, modern, etc) or topics (systematic, biblical, historical, etc)
Crime that Boston’s Crook in the Lot didn’t make this list. If any of you dear Christians are baffled at your afflictions and trials, read it TODAY.
Wonderful. I just shared this link on FB with a relative that mentioned Flavel's the Mystery of Providence specifically and the benefit of reading the puritans in general.
Thank you for your wonderful video. I placed my order and I am awaiting the delivery of the numerous books I purchased. I think I will start with “Heaven Taken by Storm” by Thomas Watson. I am so excited!
Thank you for this, brothers! God bless you.
Praise God! Amazing detailed video. Time to make room in the old bookcase!
Excellent video! I love reading the Puritans! But, the music soundtrack made me giggle.
I so wanted to hear this video well, but the sound is poor.
Thank you for this
sayang sekali saya ingin mempunyai buku itu semua hanya saya tidak mengerti bahasa inggris dsn bukunya pasti mahal karena import
It is in Christ alone. No one can bring anything to get salvation, nor as Christian to claim blessing for any work done. Immaterial of one who believes there is a GOD or not, it is always ones duty to do right because all are created in the image of GOD. The question of salvation is does one believe in Jesus Christ.
i wonder why Thomas Boston wasn't in the book? GOD Bless
That list is going to cost quite a bit of money to build up
But what more important things can you do with your money? People spend thousands of dollars a year on being entertained, whether that be going to movies, taking a vacation, music and movie subscriptions or cable etc. It's all a matter of where priorities lie. People always fund money for the things most important to them, but very few things have eternal value.
Please post a written list. Maybe even pin it in comments section to this video.
Would you recommend a new reader of the Puritans 1) reading as many books as we can and let the overall mind of Christ be in us, through their influence transforming our character without remembering every detail and argument, or 2) would you recommend reading and interacting with a few choice books and really digging deeper through meditation? (eg. Puritan Box Set vs the entire catalogue of Puritan Paperbacks)? Dr. Beeke poured over his father's collection and read as much as possible. Yet he also recommends sitting with one author such as Goodwin and really dig deep in interaction. Piper says that it is better to read a few books well, instead of many but at a lower level of interaction. AW Tozer says that the reason many people do not understand the classics is because they have no intention of obeying them. Wouldn't this take more than a single reading to incorporate?
In your opinion, which will transform the character more deeply? Because of these great works in public domain, limited shelf space and financial strain are no longer a drawback in following Richard Baxter's advice on minimum reading lists for Christians.
2. For most people: deep read less books as opposed to skim reading lots (as Piper would argue). If you read Beeke, you will realise that his capacity for reading wisely is above average.
Please no more strumming in the background 🙏😌
are the Thomas Goodwin's books rewritten in modern english or same as the original?
What 3 books should every Calvin College alumnus read according to philosopher Alvin Plantinga? See #2! :)
"Plato’s Republic. We ought to have more opportunities for people of all ages to engage that text.
Another is Jonathan Edwards’ A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections. I didn’t read this volume until I was 50; I should have read it when I was 20. Most people only know Edwards through his fiery sermon 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' because it is often included in anthologies. Every minister in the time of Edwards had to have a 'fire and brimstone' sermon in his back pocket. But this sermon is so unlike Edwards and the rest of his work. He was a thoughtful and loving teacher and scholar.
The third book would be Augustine’s Confessions."
I do not label myself a purtain but an old Quaker so my view maybe less important to you than those that tell ye what to read. For myself if you would know something of these writers look not first at their books but first look at the Gospel and then use that as your guide to which of these to read. Here you would find that one purtain our friends failed to mention is a very early purtain called Richard Sibbs who speaks so often of the presence of Christ and shares with us the perfume of Gospel itself. Forgive me for what may consider amiss for I am no purtain but a friend and brother of Christ who among all things is my first love.
What about John Milton? I don't think you guys get it.
Don't let the religious matrix of the Puritans get in the way of the proclamation. Christ alone is our righteousness and this is put to our account; it is not infused in our life. Our minds need to dwell on the Who and not the how.
Go next door and tell the 200 piece orchestra to keep it down......please.
Thats hilarious
