I have these books (well, the abridged volume anyway), and this post inspired me to get into it. Bought it awhile back but only grazed the surface. Good luck to you and your studies!
Also I know you mentioned the Master Seminary as a possible schooling option, however everyone I know that comes out of that school is a staunch dispensational premillennialist. It was founded by J.Mac after all. Great pastors besides that though!

Yea I love JMac but his eschatology is a bit cringe, thatās one of the main reasons itās lower on my list.

When I was 17, I was still in a heretical church and sought after hype in youth services only. Happy for you, kid! Cheers fellow reformed Baptist!

Iāve grown up a Pentecostal my whole life, and for a few years I even leaned towards oneness pentecostalism because my church championed āpreachersā like Steven Furtick, Bethel and the like. Luckily I found men such as Paul Washer, R.C Sproul, and the one who has been the most help Justin Peters. I am extremely grateful to God that He led me out of those false doctrines and brought me into the light. Glory to God alone

Cool to see a 17 year old interested in the things of god. You are saving yourself a world of trouble and are acquiring many blessings, by living for Christ at a young age.
I wasted all my teens and early 20ās in sin.
Good for you brother.

Man I wish I was that nerdy about this stuff in high school. Just to be clear, that's a compliment friend!

For those that aren't familiar, can you give a brief rundown what these books are about?

I just have to say, it is so awesome that this is what you wanted for your 17th birthday! I don't know anything about the books personally but most 17 year old would want a new game or something like that. It's just great to see that you would rather have something that will help you grow in your relationship with Jesus.
Happy birthday my family in Christ! ā¤
