Book Recomendations

There are many resources available to help you as you seek to be more conformed to Christ. This list of books, blogs, and other resources is offered to help encourage and catalyze your spiritual growth.


Al Mohler (president of Southern Seminary) says that reading is the way that God has chosen to make His people grow (watch this video when you have a few minutes). The summary is this: you should be reading. 


While this list is not comprehensive, these are books that have been helpful to me and that come highly recommended from other trustworthy pastors. The goal is to grow in your love of God, His word, and sound doctrine.
