Books
Knowing
God - by J.I. Packer Order Now
Next to Scripture, this book has probably had the most profound impact
on my life. Given to me by my father as I left to join the Navy, I spent
a year working through it, studying every sentence. If you look at why the
Israelites had so many problems in the book of Hosea, you'll find it is because
they did not know God. Order Now
The Holiness
of God - by R.C. Sproul Order
Now
God's holiness is what sets Him apart. That is in fact what it means. Although
He has many other marvelous attributes that are likened unto none, those
attributes are also characterized by His holiness. R.C. is a wonderfully
gifted teacher who will lead you into a greater knowledge of God. Order Now
Deliver Us From
Evil - by Ravi Zacharias Order
Now
We have witnessed our society quickly diminish from one that was once characterized
by an understanding of right and wrong, to one where right and wrong are
relative to the individual. Ravi carefully walks the reader through where
we've come from and why we got here. He uses instances in history that the
reader will identify, to open their eyes to the philosophical slide. Order

How Should We
Then Live - by Francis Schaeffer Order
Now
Schaeffer's writings seem to be, in ways, prophetic. Much of what he wrote
about, which at the time seemed off the wall, has become reality. In this
book, Schaeffer walks through history showing the slide beginning with the
Roman Age. His detail and attention to philosophy makes this an especially
good read for students who are confronted with these issues on their campuses.

Generating Hope -
by Jimmy Long Order
Now
Long's book is one of the best pictures painted of Postmodernism. Not only
is it understandable and insightful, but it is very practical. If you are
dismayed after seeing much of what has happened in our culture, read this
book for practical ways you can help others. Order Now
God's Passion
For His Glory - by John Piper Order
Now
Piper is a profound author who, in this book, captures the passion of Jonathon
Edwards. Piper's ability to think in light of Scripture and maintain a passion
for God sets him apart from modern authors. Order Now
When People are
Big and God is Small - by Edward T. Welch Order Now
In this excellent work, Welch attacks an epidemic: the fear of man. Helping
the reader understand how to combat the idolatry of a man-centered view, Welch
lays out practical steps to develop a God-centered worldview.
Living By the
Book - by Howard Hendricks Order
Now
This is an
excellent source for basic hermeneutics. Hendricks is the "Teacher's
teacher". If you've never been through his "7 Laws of the Teacher",
I highly recommend that as well. This book gives you not only instruction,
but practice, and stresses application. Order Now
The Gagging of
God - by Donald Carson Order
Now
An excellent book on
pluralism. Although the book looks intimidating (it's quite thick), Carson's
mind is sharp, and his knowledge is thorough. This book was written before
terms like 'pluralism' and 'postmodernism' had permeated pop Christian
culture, and is therefore helpful in ways that are not pop candy-coated. Order

Systematic Theology -
by Wayne Grudem Order
Now
Although an intimidating title...it is for those who want
to learn theology in a systematic way, an enjoyable read. By replacing
the large theological terms, Grudem allows the everyday reader to understand
theology...and enjoy it! One of the most helpful features this volume offers
is a list at the end of each chapter of other Systematic Theology works,
and the corresponding page numbers for the topic in the chapter. Reformed
in his theology, yet you must be careful on issues regarding the work of
the Spirit. Order
Now
A New Systematic
Theology of the Christian Faith - by
Robert Reymond Order Now
This is an excellent systematic theology that has been written from a
Reformed perspective and yet is modern and easy to read (as compared
to Berkhof, the standard systematic theology). Unlike other systematics,
Reymond is easy to follow and can actually be enjoyable at times! It
ought to be on your bookshelf. Order Now
Nine Marks of
a Healthy Church -
by Mark Dever Order
Now
Originally offered as a pamphlet, now in book format is a most helpful,
biblical portrayal of what the church should look like. Dever will help
pastors and elders understand the biblical model and how to combat the
cultural pressure in evangelicalism to change the church into a source
of entertainment. Order Now
