Here’s a worthy (I think) list of recommended reading on Christian piety: Top Ten Books on Personal Piety. I’ve read three of them only but appreciated the recommendations and expect to read more from this list before I die. Thanks for the list, Joe Thorn!

There are some contemperary books that have yet to prove their timelessness but I highly recommend they are: Richard Foster, "Celebration of Discipline" and Larry Crabb's "Inside/Out." and then there are books that weren't specifically about piety or personal holiness but have lead me to such. Some of them are: C.S. Lewis', "The Four Loves," "Reflections on the Psalms," Brennon Mannin, "The Ragamuffin Gospel," the works of E.M. Bounds on prayer and the Journal of John Wesley.

So much so it was a bestseller underneath the pope's nose with persecution upon those caught with it. I believe it is supposed to be very good at linking the doctrine of justifaction and a life of "vital piety". I believe Solid Ground Christian books is reprinting it with the guys bio. I just thought I'd throw that out there. Great list! I haven’t read but I understand “benefits of Christ’s Death” by the Italian reformer Aonio Paleario was an awesome book in its day.
