Recommended Reading

These books are written by men and women who love the Lord Jesus, but are admittedly imperfect in their ability and understanding. While we have found these resources to be helpful in our own lives, use discernment as you read. The Bible alone is infallible. As you read we ask you to follow this model: “They received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11) .
