| | | Given for You is good, but I would read the Gentry book first...not for any reason other than interests.

I voted for The True Bounds of Christian Freedom. What an incredible book that was.
As you read you'll notice Bolton's amazing intellect and logic.

I refuse to vote until I see some results from previous months' polls: What did you read in September??? Did you like it?

For Jessi:
From September's List I read: A History of the Work of Redemption and Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics (as well as other books not on the list).
A History of the Work of Redemption was a fun read and Edwards just has a way about him that makes the reading of his works keep you entranced to what he has to say.
Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics I was expecting something other than I got. What it basically was was a discussion on bad hermeneutics. There was far too much "this is what they did in 1300" and not enough "this is what a Gospel-Centered Hermeneutic looks like" for me at least. Others may differ.

Spend a month slowly reading through and contemplating the New Testament.

And as promised, I voted : ) The True Bounds of Christian Freedom is my choice because, of the titles, this one sounds the most liberating.
Thank you for the mini-reviews of the two September works. I definitely need to read more Edwards. His life and words were amazing.

This is your toughest poll yet.
Which translates to "I've read none of them, nor even heard of them."

I'm not sure what Backwoods could read, but I have a suggestion as to what Backwoods could smoke...
