Book Recommendations from DesiringGod.org

I recently found a list of recommended books at the Desiring God website including books on the following topics:
  • General, Historical, and Systematic Theology
  • Attributes of God
  • The Trinity
  • The Person of Christ
  • Providence and Predestination
  • Diving Sovereignty and Human Responsibility
  • Open Theism
  • Doctrine of Scripture
  • Doctrine of Humanity and Sin
  • Law and Gospel
  • The Life of the Mind
  • Preaching
  • Apologetics
  • Biographies
  • Biblical Studies
  • History
  • Counseling
  • Children
  • Youth
  • Parenting
  • Marriage
  • Literature
  • and lots more!!!
I think a good strategy for personal growth might be to pick one of these topics, purchase and read all the books in the category, then move to another category. Some categories might be more valuable than others to begin with (particularly, we might start with the category on "Reading"). What a great education we could receive from reading these books, not to mention the great library we would treasure when we finish!
