I recently finished A.W. Tozer’s Pursuit of God and am starting John Piper’s The Passion of Jesus Christ (Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die). I am already scheming about which book to sink my teeth into after Piper’s, and am seeking your help.
Pilgrim Radio has been reading John MacArthur’s The Truth War on their weekend edition of Reader’s Choice and what I’ve heard so far has been really intriguing.
So I am asking you guys for your input. If you have read either The Truth War or his earlier Ashamed of the Gospel, I’d like to hear from you. I am interested in reading both and I’d like to hear some reviews from you guys.

I’ve not read either of the MacArthur books you’ve mentioned – yet – but I have read and can recommend his books “The Gospel According to Jesus” and “Hard to Believe: The High Cost and Infinite Value of Following Jesus Christ”.
Praise the Lord for real men of God like MacArthur and Piper who are willing to stand on God’s unchanging Word in the midst of the swifly moving, ecumenical, man-centered currents of modern professing church-ianity.

I’m half-way through the ‘Truth War’ now, and it is very good. I’ve not yet read the other one.

I have been GREATLY blessed with the teachings and resources of Pastor John MacArthur.
I haven’t started reading ‘The Truth War’ yet (it’s in my collection ready to read though 🙂 ) My Dad has read it though and said it’s great, very applicable to the church today.
I am however currently reading his book ‘Hard to Believe’ which talks about the danger of ministers and teachers who water down the gospel to make it more popular and appealing.
I’m also reading another of his books, ‘Twelve Extraordinary Women’ which again is fantastic. This is a book I would highly recommend to anyone (Men and Women) as he uses some of the Bible’s most faithful women as examples to teach women especially about our position before God and the correct, God honouring role women should play in families and the church for example. As a woman I am so thankful for John MacArthurs book on this, as it’s truth based on God’s Word..which is a far cry from the false teaching by some key women that’s being presented to women today which I believe is so wrong in so many ways!
