I've been listening to some messages recently by Britt Merrick of Reality Carpinteria (a Calvary Chapel affiliate). I've really enjoyed them. He recently posted a list of recommended books.
I find it notable that he lists a lot of Reformed writers, including Spurgeon, Lloyd Jones, Piper, and Grudem, although from listening to Britt, his take on Calvinism is close to the traditional Calvary Chapel line of thinking (as is mine). You can read a little about that here. I see this as a positive more than anything, since I have a lot of affinity with the Calvinist teachers that I've listened to. As long as a guy is plain spoken and has a cross-centered ministry, I don't have any problem supporting him.
Another thing to note is that it doesn't look like Britt is keen on many new books. Most of the books in the list are by dead guys.
