The best book on the Gospel

Besides the Bible what is the best book on the gospel? People always say “I dont read books I just read the Bible.” This is actually a statement rebelling against the book of Ephesians which speaks of the teachers God has gifted the church. Yes every book should be TESTED by scripture and scripture is the only inspired authority but books have helped me lots and lots to understand the Bible, and besides as a former graduate student I would have flunked out if I said that I would not read books for I only will read the Bible.

Anyways what is the best book on the gospel? Paul Washer, John Stott, John Piper, John MacArthur and such have all written books. I just ordered this book.

The Gospels Power and Message by Paul Washer.

Yes its from a Reformed/Lordship Salvation Position which I realize is not the position of MOST on this board, but its the direction I lean toward these days.
