For me it was D-M-L-J and his multi-volume series on Romans. These were his sermons lightly edited (as were CHS's sermons too). They were not books I owned at the time. They were borrowed from the college library. Presently I only own two of his Romans volumes.
I could develop what I learned and applied from reading the Doctor's sermons. But I'll leave it at that.
Robert Haldane's commentary on Romans (one volume) comes in second place and man is it ever chock-full of choice remarks and exegesis. Lots of underlining.

Yeah, it has 3 to 400 word sentences connected by semicolons, but it impacted me, in addition to the Bible.
I actually transcribed most of it on my wordpress, formatting it the way I do for modern readers (cellphones), with my different fonts and colors, as well as spelling out most of the scriptures so people don't have to look them up.
1.1.3: GOD Has “Faithfully and Truly” PERFORMED AND WILL PERFORM HIS DETERMINED PLANS throughout RECORDED TIME.
I use it like this; Why does it matter whether or not Jesus was literally raised from the dead? #11
Not a book, but a body of divinity. Many books. Fine.

"True Discipleship" by William Macdonald.
I learnt from this book what it means to follow Jesus .
The first real paradigm shaker for me was John Owen's The Death of Death in the Death of Christ. It put the fifth petal on the Tulip for me. Actually, it eventually dawned on me that I was not even a four pointer.
The second big change for me came from my third reading of J. Stuart Russell's The Parousia. The first two times I had written in the margin strong disagreements I had with the author. But the third time I studied more carefully his assertions and Scripture cited. I could no longer disagree, however disagreeable it was at first for me personally, having lost my teaching position because of it.

Dispensational Truth by Clarence Larkin comes to mind for me. A Southern Baptist pastor gave me the book when I was a young man. My approach to scripture was already as a historical literalist before I received this book but it was very helpful for me in seeing God’s plan for the ages and how he is prosecuting it.
The book is still in print and I highly recommend it.

Holiness J.C. Ryle
The one I read was titled “Practical Holiness” and I believe he treated the subject with balance (theologically and practice). I learned what holiness is, isn’t, and what a life of holiness may look like lived out in differing circumstances. It has been years though. I may need to go back and re read this one.

I was part of the Open Brethren also.
I met with William McDonald and still have his The Gospel Of John Emmaus book.

William MacDonald was a great man of God. I use & value his Bible Commentary, "Believer's Bible Commentary".
A friend of mine was an intern in his discipleship school in California. He said it was a life changing experience.
Walvoord is a great writer. I used his Revelation commentary for years. Then I became Post-trib after reading Ladd. I still like his commentary. It is well laid out.

Have you seen the abridged Kindle book Post-Trib Pre-Wrath Rapture by
Roland Rasmussen.
The crucifixion date in the book is based on the 70 weeks of Daniel calculation. Interesting but not really a possible date.
Rasmussen was my Pastor from 1970 to December 1978. At that time he taught the Pre-Trib Rapture. I hadn't discussed my post trib view. So I had nothing to do with the change of his view.

Just because I can't spell apocalypse doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
