Are you a new Christian or just want to review some basic theology of Christianity? Here are some books you may want to read or reread.
Basic Christianity by John Stott
Named a "book of the century" by Christianity Today. John Stott's clear, classic book examines the historical facts on which Christianity stands. Here is a sound, sensible guide for all who seek an intellectually satisfying explanation of the Christian faith.
Know What You Believe by Paul E. Little
The author presents ten bottom-line, non-negotiable truths of Christianity using humorous, anecdotal illustrations gathered from years of experience helping believers share their faith with not-yet Christians. Expanded and updated throughout by Paul's wife Marie, this contemporary edition is packed with illuminating answers to questions and misconceptions about the Christian faith, with study questions for each chapter.
Jonathon Edwards on True Christianity
What is a true Christian? What is the church? Though these are fundamental questions they often go unanswered in our current evangelical context. Far too many pastors and thinkers celebrate the trappings of faith and the mere benefits of Christianity, ignoring the biblical testimony on true conversion that shouts from countless texts from Scripture. We can find solace, instruction, and encouragement from the biblically saturated life and ministry of Jonathan Edwards.
What is Your Librarian Reading for "I Love to Read Month"?
Thief of Glory: A Novel by
Sigmund Brouwer
One of my goals this year was to read at least one book from the church library each month. I decided to read this book because it won a Christy Award for the Book of the Year for 2015. It tells the story of a boy coming of age in a Japanese camp during the war and what this reveals about himself and humanity. I have only just started this book, but I have enjoyed some of Sigmund Brouwers other books
Tell us what you are reading right now on this blog before February 14, 2016 and you might be in for an extra treat.
I just finished Unplanned by Abby Johnson - wow, what a powerful story of God working in someone's life, and how God has such grand plans for all of our lives too. I really enjoyed that story, of a Planned Parenthood clinic director becoming pro-life!
