Interesting to see Nee on your list. I happen to like that book as well. Not many Calvinists that I know of think much of Nee.

 

[JM]

I'm pretty sure Nee was a 4 point Calvinistic Brethren fella...definitely at odds with Reformed Calvinism because of his Keswickian views.

 

[Hammster]

He did say Christian books.

 

[JM]

I'm happy to see Pink's commentry on the Gospel of John listed. I just recently discovered it.

"A true recognition of God's sovereignty causes us to hold our every plan in abeyance to God's will. The writer well recalls an incident which occurred in England over twenty years ago. Queen Victoria was dead, and the date for the coronation of her eldest son, Edward, had been set for April 1902. In all the announcements which were sent out, two little letters were omitted — D.V. — Deo Volente: God willing. Plans were made and all arrangements completed for the most imposing celebrations that England had ever witnessed. Kings and emperors from all parts of the earth had received invitations to attend the royal ceremony. The Prince's proclamations were printed and displayed, but, so far as the writer is aware, the letters D.V. were not found on a single one of them. A most imposing programme had been arranged, and the late Queen's eldest son was to be crowned Edward the Seventh at Westminster Abbey at a certain hour on a fixed day. And then God intervened, and all man's plans were frustrated. A still small voice was heard to say, "You have reckoned without me", and Prince Edward was stricken down with appendicitis, and his coronation postponed for months!"

I'm seeing desperation lately. God has to wait for man to act. Non-Jews in the OT were preached to in the same way Paul was. Omniscience is the answer to any bind. Just crazy stuff.
