A Few Good Books

Dear Disciple,

So what are you going to put on your Christmas present list?  Why not go for a few good books?  Here's some I can recommend

• Knowing God by Jim Packer. An oldie now, but still so relevant. Packer packs his pages full of stirring stuff.

• Desiring God by John Piper. Here Piper demonstrates that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. A life changing book.

• God's Big Picture by Vaughan Roberts. A really concise but not a skimpy overview of the story of the Bible. Read it to find out how the Bible hangs together.

• The Christian Life by Sinclair Fergusson. A doctrinal overview of what has happened to us as Christians. Read it if you want to understand who you are in Christ.

• The Reason For God by Tim Keller. Quite simply the best book I've ever read on the objections that are so often thrown at Christians.

• Charity and it's fruits by Jonathan Edwards. Written way back in the 1700s,its his sermons on 1 Corinthians 13.  Mind-blowing stuff. He writes with the solidity of an Italian defence and the speed of a Brazilian attack. But it is an acquired taste.

Enjoy!

In Christ

Paul
