  1. The Freedom of the Will, by Jonathan Edwards
  2. The Bondage of the Will, by Martin Luther
  3. Institutes of the Christian Religion, by John Calvin
  4. God in Modern Philosophy, by James Daniel Collins
  5. A Time for Truth, by William E. Simon
  6. Charity and Its Fruits, by Jonathan Edwards

  14. Here I Stand, by Roland Bainton
  15. A Simple Way to Pray, by Martin Luther
  16. The Coming of the Kingdom, by Herman Ridderbos

If you haven’t read them, you’ll probably want to add them to your list, as I am doing. I find lists like this to be very valuable. If you know of other similar lists by men of God like Sproul, add the link in the comments, and I’ll compile a list.
