The Pilgrim's Progress (Oxford World's Classics)The Pilgrim's Progress (Oxford World's Classics) by John Bunyan
Buy used from: $5.01
The way to heaven is narrow and hard and there are few that walk it. This book gives some insight into why so few do. But truth is truth whether a thousand are with you on the journey or none.
God Tells the Man Who CaresGod Tells the Man Who Cares by A. W. Tozer
Buy used from: $4.50
I don't have this particual edition, but if it hasn't been doctored it will surely be encouraging. I could recommend most of Tozer's work.
The Ballad of the White HorseThe Ballad of the White Horse by G. K. Chesterton
Buy new: $17.12 / Used from: $8.95
Should be read between the lines; it isn't just history! Chesterton ought to be better remembered. The man had incredible insight and sensitivity.
Commentary on the New Testament: 12 VolumesCommentary on the New Testament: 12 Volumes by R.C.H. Lenski
Buy used from: $249.99
Although highly academic, Lenski is worth the effort. He loved Jesus. OK, I agree, I wouldn't gladly pass on too many of these sets - not on my present salary!
The Calvary RoadThe Calvary Road by Roy Hession
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
The spirit of Christianity. No book is without errors but the major thrust of this work is true to the heart of Scripture and thus true to the heart of God.

Gorgias (Penguin Classics)Gorgias (Penguin Classics) by Plato
Buy new: $9.00 / Used from: $1.71
Insightful. By reading Plato, you get to see some of the word tricks people play. I always felt that Plato was best in his smaller works.
Christ the Sum of All Spiritual ThingsChrist the Sum of All Spiritual Things by Watchman Nee
Buy new: $3.99 / Used from: $0.79
There are times we choose what is right though every feeling and sense is dead. But we don't want to make that the norm, do we? This contrasts supernatural living with nominalism and mere stoicism.
The Still Hour: Or, Communion with GodThe Still Hour: Or, Communion with God by Austin Phelps
Buy used from: $2.24
You should be able to get this for much less than $30! A strange book and not an easy style, but it breathes something that is very hard to put into words.
David Brainerd, the man of prayerDavid Brainerd, the man of prayer by David Brainerd
Written by Oswald J Smith. One of those books you read and when you've finished you bow the knee and find yourself weeping uncontrollably. Why isn't this in print?
The Methodist hymn-bookThe Methodist hymn-book by Methodist Church (Great Britain)
Buy used from: $124.07
The best poetry book you can own. Since very few of my choices seem to have images, let me give you a clue: think black and rectangular!
A Practical Grammar for Classical HebrewA Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew by Jacob Weingreen
Buy new: $51.32 / Used from: $18.50
Ok, I'd only "gladly pass on" something like this to a Hebrew student. It hardly seemed like work when I used this volume.

Buy new: $19.78 / Used from: $18.64
A bit of a dry read. I treat mine as a reference book. But why do learned believers speak in such careful and guarded terms? Why can't we say "I love the Lord Jesus with all my heart"?
Hamlet (Dover Thrift Editions)Hamlet (Dover Thrift Editions) by William Shakespeare
Buy new: $1.50 / Used from: $0.01
To my mind, a masterpiece centred on the doctrine of providence - rough hew it as we do.
