RECOMMENDED BOOKS AND AUTHORS

Our goal in putting together this list of books and authors is to provide you with a biblical and Christ-centered set of resources to help you deepen your faith. The list can certainly be improved. There may also be different views on what works and authors should be included other than these. What’s beyond discussion is that everything you find here is sound doctrine and it will deeply nourish your spiritual life. This list doesn’t just reflect our own opinion; we have consulted pastors and leaders from different countries and different contexts as we put this list together. Enjoy!
