Ravenhill Recommends

Leonard Ravenhill was one of the great preachers in modern time. Doubtless, he has been an influence to many, and will continue to be for years to come. As a matter of fact, Ravenhill is indirectly why Jawbone Digital got started. In 2011, a list of recommended reading from the great preacher was made known to Ryan (founder and head guy around here), and he set out to find some of these books for personal consumption. However, he was disappointed when most of them were not available for him to read on his Kindle. He purposed to rectify this, and Jawbone Digital was born. The first book we ever published was “The Atonement” by Albert Barnes. From there, Jawbone has expanded to what it is today, but we still love the list put out by Ravenhill years ago. This page contains that list in its entirety. Many of these books are in the public domain, but others are not.

The “They Knew Their God” series holds a special place in our collective heart. These books are still under copyright, but we successfully reached out to the publisher and helped them get these classics into eBook formats. Below is the most complete list of Ravenhill’s recommendations that we can find, with many links posted already, and many more to come.

Enjoy!

    You missed Saint Paul by F. W. H. Myers and The People’s Bible sermon set by Joseph Parker. 🙂

      I’ve never seen those on the recommended lists. If memory serves me right, Myers doesn’t surprise me.

      Yes, they do. However, not in a digital format, and not for $0.99 each. But here is a link to them. They do have a lot of great content in print formats.

      Some of these older books are quite difficult reads.
