Highly Recommended Books

There are always people looking for some books for discipleship. Let me post my recommendations for your assistance.

1. Anything by RC Sproul. Dr. Sproul writes great books for the layman (which can be purchased at http://www.ligonier.org/. But here are just a few.
  • The Holiness of God
  • Grace Unknown
  • Ligonier has great audio & DVD stuff too. Don't pass it up.
2. How Should We Then Live? by Francis Schaffer.
(this was one of the best books I read all year) It is in DVD format too.

3. Promise and Deliverance by SG De Graaf
(It's expensive, but well worth it. A devotional walk through the history portions of the Bible)

4. The Westminster Shorter Catechism for Study Classes by GI Williamson
This would correspond to something like "Theology for Dummies." I use this all the time for my study purposes. It could be used for young people too.

5. The Practice of Piety by Lewis Bayly.
This is a manual for the Christian life written by a Reformer. He wrote it to teach his congregation how to live a pious life before God. It contains great prayers, guides for keeping holy thoughts, and a little bit 'o theology that will warm your heart. (if you can't find it, you can borrow my copy!)

More to come so check in now and again!
