One Book Meme 2

The other contributor and founder writes...

1. One book that changed your life (other than the Bible): Pilgrim's Progress. The pastor under whom I was converted did a series of studies on it and advised all of us to read it.
2. One book you've read more than once: Spurgeon's Lectures to my Students, a truly classic book for all ministers.
3. One book you'd want on a Desert Island:The Works of Thomas Goodwin. One of the greatest of the Puritans
4. One book that made you laugh: John Knox's History of the Reformation in Scotland. Knox knows how to make history good reading.
5. One book that made you cry (or feel really sad): Archbishop Sharp by Julia Buckroyd. A story of a minister who fell into temptation and, seeking to save his life, lost it.
6. One book that you wish had been written: The Spiritual Life vol. 2 by Alexander Whyte. He died before he could write it
7. One book that you wish had never been written: Wrestling Jacob by Marjorie Bowen: A truly dreadful biography of John Wesley. The only joy I got out of reading it was due to typographical errors such as 'settled on their pees'
8. One Book You're Currently Reading: The Life of John Knox by Thomas M'Crie. I read the Free Presbyterian reprint a few years ago, but now I am reading the original (well, the seventh and longest edition)
9. One Book you've been meaning to read: Thomas Goodwin's third volume, Exposition of the Revelation and Select Cases of Conscience
10. Now tag five people: That I leave to my esteemed brother in Cardiff
