Slave: The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ by John MacArthur highlights those many times that Scripture reminds us that we are SLAVES, not just servants or bond-servants, to Jesus Christ. And, amazingly, that is our Freedom. Prior to that, we were slaves to sin.
This book is also a powerful defense of the Doctrines of Grace, or what we often refer to as the Five Points of Calvinism. This is not a TULIP exposition, but the doctrines of total inability and irresistable grace and perseverance of the saints are all ably supported. What a great blend of theological and exegetical study with devotional encouragement.

I do not recommend that you read this book: I am planning on borrowing extensively from it for future sermons!
Still reading from Eugene Peterson's delightful and really soul-shaking Pastor: A Memoir.
