Like the web sites I have recommended, I am careful to recommend books to those visiting The Old Time Gospel, those who are of "like precious faith". John said to, "...try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1 There are few solid christian books that truely adhere to the scripture and that deserve the attention of the child of God. Today "christian bookstores" are lined with how-to-do/be books, as if the Bible were insufficient to instruct the soul in holiness and right relation with the Almighty. Peter said that, "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him..." (2 Peter 1:3-4) It was all in the Torah, everything a man needed to draw near to God in that day. Today, we have the complete mind of God toward man in the Bible. The Word, which is the knowledge of God, "changeth not," therefore the need for how-to books is at best misleading. There are however, a few writings that truely breathe of holiness, I highly recommend reading these listed below. The Old Time Gospel does not necessarily endorse or defend the theological/doctrinal views promoted in these books, however, they are excellent sources for researching the Bible. The Bible being the final authority to the Christian. May these books bless you as they have blessed me. |

The Imitation of Christ By Thomas á Kempis In my opinion, this little book is quite possibly the greatest book ever written by man outside of the scripture itself. There is a deep sense of holiness and righteousness throughout the pages, truely inspired and truely an imitation of Christ. More on Thomas à Kempis |

The Release of the Spirit By Watchman Nee For a book to be truely inspired, it must move the soul to a deeper, holier walk with God. Watchman Nee's book about releasing the Spirit is just such a book. Every page challenges the christian to yield to the Spirit of God for a fuller life in Christ. |
