Books

I love to read. I just finished re-reading Lord Foulgrin's Lettes by Randy Alcorn. Written in the vein of the Screwtape Letters, at one point the "victim" is in a Christian bookstore and Foulgrin advises the lesser-demon Squaltaint, "Restrain Fletcher from going back to this store. If you cannot, then at least distance him from books of substance, particularly those dealing with the Enemy's attributes. I'm attaching a list of authors you must keep from him. On it you will see such contemptible names as Edwards, Spurgeon, Tozer, Packer, Piper, Lewis, Schaeffer, Colson, and others. My list isn't long , and many on it are rarely carried now in bookstores anyway." I was thinking of books I have gone through and I found a couple lists. Most of these I highly recommend.

I noticed "The Fourth Horseman" which I loaned you, has not been read. How disappointing. Perhaps I can loan it to another who will take advantage of such a golden opportunity?
