My husband discipled me 37 years ago, and he asked me not to read any books about the Bible for 5 years. I only read the Bible( I did use a concordance) for those years. He thought it would be hard for a new Christian to discern truth from error without knowing the truth FIRST. It has been such a blessing to me!!!

I remember perusing The Purpose Driven Life and wondering why a Christian pastor would quote Mother Theresa. Turns out she was no mother Theresa. Rick Warren is no pastor I would recommend. He brags about himself way too much. I’m not saying everything he’s done is wrong, but he’s a chameleon who you’d be wise to stay clear of. He’s an ecumenical nightmare.

The one book that influenced my life was the life story of Nicky Cruz, Run Baby Run. I was 15 and in reading class our teacher who was a Christian had us read this book, I knew the story and had seen the cross and the switchblade, but this book really impacted my life, I gave my life at the age of 17, later in in church I saw my teacher, I was able to let her know how I became a Christian and how she influenced me, eventually I got to see Nicky Cruz preach. I still have a copy of Run Baby Run

FINALLY I have been looking through a lot of christian channels (that are sound!) with book recommendations and I couldn't' find any and the one video I did find was a lot of beth moore which made me question the other stack of suggestions ... just in advanced Thank You Pastor Smith

More of these type of videos!!! Yes!! Thanks, Brother Spencer!

Spencer, I appreciate you more and more every day. You’re actually a very funny guy. Great list and thank you 👍

I know some kiddos who are going to love the Gizmo coloring book! I will always absolutely enjoy it. I may not be a kid but it’s a combination of my favorite things the gospel, puppies, & art work!

As the church librarian in my local Baptist Church, I found your list of some of your favorite books helpful. I also love Larkin's illustrations and have one of his books.

Pilgrims progress by John Bunyan is a must

The kingdom of the cults was something that changed my life

Love reading Spurgeon’s devotional. Will have to get that book.

The Journal and Life of David Brainerd is a life changer. I read it. Never forgot it - a model for how the Christian life should be lived and how missionary and ministry work should be done.

So many good books. So little time. Thank you, Spencer. The LORD bless you, your family and your ministry.

Rightly Dividing the Word is amazing. Thank you for the recommendations.

The devotional, Streams in the Desert, is a wonderful book for anyone who is suffering.

God has a wonderful plan for your life The myth of the modern message by Ray Comfort of living waters is life changing because it teaches biblical approach to reaching unbelievers a must read if you care about the lost!

I have a few of those books. The commentary on Matthew by John R. Rice is excellent in my opinion. I met him about a year after I got saved probably 1978 in Charleston S.C. and asked him to pray for me which he stopped in hallway, put his hand on my shoulder and prayed for me. I never forgot it. He was without a doubt the best Christian man I ever met. His commentaries have a definite devotional tone to them and I strongly suggest that they could be read devotionally. Dr. Rice not only was a greatly used man of God, but he was more of a Bible scholar than he's given credit for and I recommend all his commentaries. I have them all as well as a number of his many books. Even if you may not agree with every single thing he says, I guarantee that you will be blessed. Dr. Rice wrote those commentaries originally as part of a Bible correspondence course for preachers if I remember correctly. You won't go wrong especially on any of his 3 commentaries on Matthew, Luke, and John. All of them are good but these were a particular blessing to me personally.

Thank you for sharing, saving to watch later with the husband, within the last few months my family has done some major changes, and we have grown a lot, this will help add to our library, we just bought John Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress!!

@12:17 You made Joel Osteen a target darts lol

This video was suggested on youtube to me - and so glad! So many great books to check out and Gdozilla 📖🦎New subscriber!

The unfolding drama of redemption- Scorggy

I had not heard of some of these. Thank you!!

Thank you, Brother Spencer! This was very helpful and entertaining. I got that gumdrops song stuck in my head now. 😆

Pastor, I am pretty sure that the only book that change one's life is the Bible, the other books just add a bit of emphasis

I ordered EM bound's book on Prayer. Excited to read it.

Just what I needed!! Thank you for sharing

Shew. EM Bounds and Taylor stuff is super convicting. I was expecting to see Alexander Hislop’s The Two Babylons on here.

Great video. I don't really comment to often, but Ive always enjoyed your videos. You were actually the first person on youtube that I seen that started to help me realize the false doctrine thats being preached in the church today. It was sometime in 2020 when I first see one of your videos.

We need a complete bookshelf tour video with added commentary

Appreciate the Georgians, you and bro. Cody Zorn ! Thank you for your work.

Bless you brother Spencer!!!

If Rice or Bounds prayer books don't help, I recommend Tozer's holiness book "The Knowledge of the Holy" I felt pretty unworthy the first time I read it..

Thank you so much for the list! A side note: seeing "Angela's Ashes" book on your shelf reminded me that is one of the is one of my old time favorite nonfiction books. I read it when it first came out and I never laughed or cried harder.

Mr. Gizmo's a hoot, and yes, some of us out here DO appreciate Georgia!👍😊 I think I will check out some of Larkin's work and revisit Hudson Taylor. Thanks for the recommendations!🎚️

Yes please continue to share good books with us.

12:17 Joel Olsteen as a dart target 🤣🤣🤣

I’m from Cartersville ga. went Sammy Alan’s church several times also stennet belew was there many times. He and Sammy have passed away. In the last year.

An old commentary on the Bible is useful, it seems that old commentators had a higher view of God. I have a Matthew Henry and Matthew Poole commentary.

Your theme song sounds like we’re gonna take a couple little green martians on a weekend hunt for Sasquatch!

Super helpful brother, would love another video like this. I just came out of the charismatic movement a little over a year ago. Books and KZfaq videos have greatly helped me get into the right doctrine. Also just found out you are a missionary that my Church supports! Bible Baptist Church in Prairie du Chien WI. Thanks for the awesome content and hope to meet you someday brother.

Good stuff Maynard! Glad you did this video. Will be adding some new books to the library. Thank you.

Thanks for the recommendations, Brother Spencer. 🙂

Did you guys notice with last rugby world cup in Japan they eye of the uliminati was also in the stadium

Great vid😁 and had The Purpose Driven Life, and it helped me out back n the early '03. Back then I didn't know better. Cool books u have Spencer and did u njoy ur movie, lol 🤣

The book which helped me to understand more about Christianity was “Quo Vadis” by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It’s historical novel. It was over 12 years ago now when I read it for the first time

The Organic Gospel is a good Christian book. It changed my life.

More videos like this!!!! I saved this so I can have Birthday and Christmas ideas.

I have the Pickering book biblical separation. Excellent.

Spencer's Bible Bunker 😉📖

A Nefarious Plot is a must read as well as The Military Guide to Armageddon and The Military Guide to Disarming Deception

I love this video Bro. Spencer. We could always use more videos like this... :)

We pray for each other around the world your a funny one and I lovit God bless 🙌👋🇿🇦

Thanks for the great list of books to check out and you are correct about us Georgia folks 😉 God bless you

Had a book on my shelf for maybe a year and a month ago I took it out and it said in my language....Die doel gerigte kerk(The purpose driven church)!!!!What a joke!!By the way went to our first Baptist church today!!!Was very nice!!So awesome to sit in church and hear the word of God preached and not someone start (speaking in tongues) so that they can appear all holy!!

I was expecting at least 1 Godzilla book on the shelf. 😂

Curious George was a great one. 🙈 Other then that I enjoyed David Wilkerson books. Especially the one about Nicky Cruz.

Another great book is Borden of Yale.

I remember hearing a preacher say once that the only book you should read is the Bible. No commentaries nothing 😂😂

There's actually 66 books that have changed my life (67 if you count 1 Enoch), so I've got ya beat! ;)

C.S. Lewis wrote a sci-fi trilogy that's under the radar, and excellent. That Hideous Strength, Perelandra and Out of the Silent Planet.

Yeah, not watching Godzilla movies 😂 lol!!! I'm a dork and love those old movies!!! Thanks for the great video!!!

A video was in my feed. This is the second one from this channel and so far I like it. Then I saw the photo of you with the IDF and that kind of destroyed my initial thoughts. I certainly wouldn't make judgement on the overall content, but that photo is very disturbing to me as a Christian and just as someone so against enslavement, genocide, tyranny, etc. Just felt compelled to type that. Good stuff here and curious to see more. I am glad I came across this channel! Thanks!

Need a list of books can't write that fast lol

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin.

Ah… Destroy all monsters (1968). Fun film 😂

Thanks! Got quite the chuckle from your dart board! 🤣🤣🤣

Mark Cahill's books are very edifying, and great witnessing tools. One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven. I also really like his book Paradise.

Can you give me some recommendations boys for tennis boys and also where to start with them in the Bible???

Jahahahaha judgy eyes!!!! Hahahahahaha you’re funny 😆

The Marked Bible by Charles Taylor and The Great Controversy by Ellen White were tow of the many amazing books I've read and I'll encourage everyone to read them also 😊 yes I know many doesn't like Ellen White's writings base on what they have heard others say about her but I'd encourage you to read about her from her books for yourself.

Spencer said that "Bobbed Hair Bossy Wives and Women Preachers" is still in print, but I couldn't find it on Amazon, B&N, Christianbook, or a couple of other online Christian bookstores. Where can I find it?

Hey brother I love it. Thank you for all of this wisdom and humor. Who are some sound Fundamentalist teachers I can glean from? I’m a Born again Bible believing follower of Jesus. I live in Southern Utah and Go to a Baptist Church. One of the books that helped me see the need of a Savior was Ray Comforts Hells Best Kept Secret. Also true and False Converts. Thank you for being a watchmen and warning the Body of Christ. I just finished The 3rd Adam’s. Eye opening. I like many have fallen for the enemies lies, and traps. Thank you for the work you’re doing. Glory to God! Brother in Christ Lance Scholz

On the time out logo, Gizmo looks like Spurgeon! heehee

Spencer, a number of the classic books you recommend are available on eBay as well as Amazon.

Can we start a book club? I think we should start a book club. Oprah has one… Reese Witherspoon has one… and their taste isn’t even good. We should definitely have one.

You are hilarious Br. Spencer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

Love your library, blessed to see you really love the Lord and your family. Godzilla? Really? So much better entertainment out there to waste your time with, zit popping.

I found sinners in the hands of an angry God sermon free in the Apple Books section

I see that Sightler book on Acts!

Can you write the names of the books you recommended please

i’ll recommend some more to you: Limits Your erroneous zone mere christianity the pilgrim journey the vision attributes of God the catacombs life of the martyrs systematic theology unmasking the devil tortured by christ personal evangelism

More of these videos!!

This man funny as hell

Hey brother Spencer have u heard of Caleb garraway I just bought 2 of his books just curious what u think of him

waiting third adam

What Bible Collage did you go to?

The only book is the good book of Christ and the promise of God. I would rather not puff up others

I’ve heard some negative things about Larkin. And that he’s a hyper dispensationalist.

Hello Sir. I have a Kenneth Hagin book called love the road to victory. Should I get rid of that book?

The Gospel for the New Testament Church is 1 Cor. 15: 1-4 KJV and Rom. 3: 25 KJV explains it further. It's what Christ did for us that we're saved and it's by faith alone, not works. We're forgiven for all sins by Christ's shed blood.

You were not watching Godzilla movies

I want the Bible to Change my life , people ho died because they wanted Bible in our hands , they didn’t died that now we can read bocks to change our life !

Spencer is going to be giving away Godzilla for our Gospelvedification? I am confused. 😁

And I was NOT looking for the prosperity gospel, when I clicked on your video, but I got an ad telling me how Jesus can make me rich, rich, rich! Well I just clicked the skip ad, because I'm already richer than the richest person on the planet😁... only difference is it's not money that I'm rich in😏.... Is is just me, or do all the ads on Christian videos advertise things fully opposed to the word of God🤔😈?

Ok, I'm new here, so I need to get used to your humor but...is that Rick Warren book a yes or no? Was that sarcasm? Sorry...

I love old Godzilla movies

I enjoy books by Charles Stanley..."Landmines In The Path Of The Believer" is a really good one.

I love having an E M Bounds book on the shelf to let everyone know I'm not woke.

"Us, Georgians . . . 🍑😁🤣

@spencersmith You gave away 2 books a while back. I won abdolute surrender but what was the other? I wanted to buy it but cant remember the name now now.
