Dane Ortlund at Informational Inflammation has a post called, “Seminary Reading” where he says if he had 300 pages to assign a semiarian before going to the pastorate, he would assing the following:

* Lectures to My Students, C. H. Spurgeon (excerpts)
* The Life of God in the Soul of Man, Henry Scougal (letter to friend)
* Words to Winners of Souls, Horatius Bonar
* The Mortification of Sin, John Owen
* “The Christian Pilgrim”, Jonathan Edwards (sermon)
* A Treatise on Grace, Jonathan Edwards
* No Place for Truth, David Wells (excerpts)
