Recommended Books
This is simply a list of books that have helped me the most in my personal walk with Christ and in my own understanding of God's Word.
The Death of Death in the Death of Christ- John Owen
No other book comes anywhere close to this with regard to teaching on Particular Redemption.
The Works of Jonathan Edwards (2 Volumes)
Not an easy read. However, the works included in these volumes are good to read on a cold day when you have plenty of time to read a line or two and pause to think for a while. Including such works as "A Careful and Strict Inquiry into the Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will," and "A History of the Work of Redemption," these volumes are excellent for gaining a deeper knowledge of the Doctrines of Grace.
The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Resistance to Tyranny and a Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government- Matthew J. Trewhella
Excellent little book concerning the Christian's Scriptural duty to resist tyranny.
The Distinctiveness of Baptist Covenant Theology- Pascal Denault
Highly recommended book if you would like to understand, not only from proof texts but even from foundational Scriptural principles of Covenant Theology, our view of why we as Reformed Baptists hold to credobaptism only and reject paedobaptism.
To get the most out of this great book, I would recommend that you read this book all the way through once, without worrying about the fact that you didn't understand everything that was just said. This book can be rather technical for some and can seem somewhat dry, so just get through it once and put it away. After a week or two, come back and read it again and you will get much more out of it.

Covenant Theology: From Adam to Christ- Nehemiah Coxe and John Owen
This book is a compilation of writings from Nehemiah Coxe (17th Century Particular Baptist who very likely helped create the 1689 London Baptist Confession) and John Owen (17th Century Puritan). It has been edited somewhat into more modern English (but not dumbed down at all) and it is a very helpful book for understanding Baptist Covenant Theology.
