If I had (which I don't) only 300 pages (which I wouldn't) to assign for a seminarian to read before beginning a pastorate, I think I would assign:- Lectures to My Students, C. H. Spurgeon (excerpts)
- The Life of God in the Soul of Man, Henry Scougal (letter to friend)
- Words to Winners of Souls, Horatius Bonar
- The Mortification of Sin, John Owen
- "The Christian Pilgrim", Jonathan Edwards (sermon)
- A Treatise on Grace, Jonathan Edwards
- No Place for Truth, David Wells (excerpts)

I love the extended citation of the Scottish corporate ministerial confession of sin, which I often go back to and which I find not only awakens me to see those things reflected in my life and heart but stirs me up to strive to avoid them in future ministry.
