Looking hard for book recommendations for books of 100 pages or less. I am looking for books that are theological in nature. I found some free books on John Piper's site. However, thought I'd see if y'all have any recommendations.

RC Sproul has a bunch of books in the Crucial Questions series that are probably all under 100 pages and are all free for Kindle.
Bonhoeffer's smaller works. His "Life Together" goes just beyond 100, but worth it!Puritan Paperbacks or the like.
I would recommend Banner's Pocket Puritans. I haven't read them all, but I like all the ones I have read so far.https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/pr...

The Gospel Coalition Booklets (14 booklets) https://www.goodreads.com/series/1568...
free pdf's can be found here --> http://www.cross-points.org/free-book...
A Gospel Primer for Christians: Learning to See the Glories of God's Love by Milton Vincent is great. And just 97 pages.
Gospel Centered Teaching by Trevin Wax. Fabulous, short, and it also has the word "gospel" in the title!
I read Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce by John Piper on January 1st, it has less than 100 pages and it was truly inspirational and challenging.
I did a google search and found the pdf online for free for Piper's book on Wilberforce. Will read it for my book at under 100 pages for the reading challenge. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!"Desiring God actually has the pdf (& sometimes mobi & epub) free on their site. http://www.desiringgod.org/books There are some other bios in another series that are pretty short on there too.

I decided to go with Lessons from a Hospital Bed by John Piper for this category. It is 80 pages. And you can download it free from Desiring God.
I recently read Sovereignty and Authority in the Context of the American Republic: a confessional Lutheran assessment, by Rt. Rev. James D. Heiser with a page number of a whopping 44 pages. It was so much more than a mere 44 pages in content.
The Epistle to Diognetus -- Very good - true to the Scriptures and worth your time to read frequently
