I personally believe books are one of God’s great gifts. And while they come in all shapes and size, color and content, I wanted to share with you a few (ok, more than a few) of my recommending reading collection.
There are hundreds and hundreds of books out there, some of which I will probably accidentally forget to include (and many that are still on my “to read” list.) However, the following are some of the great resources I use on a semi-regular basis in my walk with Christ. Keep checking back as I periodically update this page.
OH! And if you have a “must read” book that isn’t currently on the list, please let me know by clicking here.
