RECOMMENDED BOOKS

​

In the past, God revealed Himself to the prophets and apostles and finally in Son, Jesus Christ. For our sake, this was codified into a book, the Bible. So Christians ought to be readers of The Book. To be effective as readers of the Bible we have to read it in the community of believers. Some of the most brilliant Bible readers lived in the past and we have their writings. This is why we recommend reading deeply and widely not only the authors who are alive today but also those who lived long ago. This recommended reading list places a particular accent on Puritan and Reformed writers because of their perceptive blend of deep theology and heartfelt devotion. These are some of the best Christian books ever written. Pick up and read!
