CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON ON READING 'As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to everyone, 'Give yourself to reading.' He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible. The best way for you to spend your leisure is to be either reading or praying.'

Owen's work on justification has long been considered one of the classic Protestant treatments. We are thus confident his writing will, by the blessing of the blessed Spirit of grace, be an effectual antidote to the poisonous perversions of the Man of Sin (2 Thes. 2:3) -- while also helping to obliterate the specious distinctions and definitions invented by the Papists to adumbrate the plain truths of Scripture concerning justification. More than for historical or polemical purposes however, Owen's treatise should capture the attention and careful study of the faithful because it is written for them: the lovers of Christ and His truths. His chief aim was not to address those who opposed the truth (though in handling the subject he overwhelmingly vanquishes them). Rather, Owen writes, 'I shall assure them that, in the handling of it, from first to last, I have had no other design but only to inquire diligently into the divine revelation of that way, and those means, with the causes of them, whereby the conscience of a distressed sinner may attain assured peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ...' The Covenanter David Steele, in his classic work, Notes on the Apocalypse, calls John Owen, "that prince of divines among English Dissenters" (see http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14485/14485-h/14485-h.htm for a free copy of Steele's Notes on the Apocalypse).

Dr. Noell traces the fall's consequences through the curse on the serpent, the woman, and Adam — showing how each curse distorts the original creation ordinances. He focuses on Genesis 3:15 (the protoevangelium), arguing that the seed of the woman has both a collective and singular referent, citing Galatians 3:16 on Christ as the promised seed. He quotes Calvin and John Owen on justification to establish that the covenant of works provided no mediator, making a new covenant necessary.

Richard Bennett is a former Roman Catholic priest. This message contains much detail on Ratzinger and Romanism. It exposes the nefarious and anti-Christian desires of the harlot woman that rides the beast (Revelation 17:3,7) as well as the aspirations of the Roman Antichrist for civil power. It also contrasts the mystery of godliness with he mystery of iniquity from scripture, while presenting the biblical gospel of justification in Christ alone. Also see http://www.swrb.com/newslett/freebook/romanism.htm. Many resource on the PURITAN HARD DRIVE, at http://ow.ly/dZ3ua, refute and expose the errors and practices of Romanism. Richard Bennett writes, "The Puritan Hard Drive has been such a superb blessing to me personally and for my ministry, that I lack words to adequately praise the Lord! The immense heritage of Puritan and Biblical pastors, leaders, and teachers is given to us in a single source on the Puritan Hard Drive. Right here at your fingertips are the works of such men as John Wycliffe, John Huss, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, John Bunyan, John Owen, Matthew Poole, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, J. C. Ryle, and on and on until you reach the great Biblical scholars of the present century. More than standing on the shoulders of these illustrious men, you have their thoughts in written and audio format. In our own times, we have their writings to read, their videos to see, and their messages to hear, on the Puritan Hard Drive. Let the words of the Psalmist be our heart's cry, Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart." For more see http://ow.ly/ivxTx
