Between Two Worlds

At breakfast the other day in Orlando (joined by Tullian and Kim Tchividjian), I told Dr. Packer I was thinking of building a basic theological library for each of my kids to give them some day. I asked him for his top 5 books he would recommend. Here were the ones he listed:

• J.C. Ryle, Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots
• John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress
• John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
  
• Arnold Dallimore, George Whitefield: The Life and Times
• C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
