Since becoming a Dad, I've not got the same amount of free time. With this in mind I'm a little concerned about my reading - I don't want to waste my time. So, I was wondering, what do you guys recommend - if you had to compile a list of essential Reformed literature, what would be on it?
Thanks

"Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away."
"Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."

The Death of Christ and the Death of Death by John Owen is a book I've been meaning to buy. Some people have sort of put me off reading Owen by saying he's really difficult to follow, is this the case?

I wouldn’t say difficult, but rather dense, yet truly rewarding.
I also didn’t mention the masterpiece Death of Death, because Brian had already did. It also has the bonus of J I Packer’s introduction, the cherry on the top of the cake, so to speak.
But that you can read online already

Personally i found this difficult to read but honestly i didn't try reading it for very long. After a long day of work, i just couldn't muster up the concentration needed to understand his writing.
