BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Some Good Places to Start
The access we have today to literature and resources that can aide us in the understanding of our God and His Word. Sadly, not all books claiming to help us in this endeavor actually do. We’ve put together a list of book recommendations to help guide you in your pursuit of the true Author of all things. All of the resources listed below—along with many others—can be found in our church library.
[Please note that the inclusion of an author or specific resource on this list does not offer a blanket affirmation of the theology therein. What this list is intended to represent is a good starting place on the journey of thinking biblically regarding the following topics.]
