A question that I keep getting asked more and more frequently is, “can you recommend any books about..?” And what I notice is that although I am an avid reader, there are a good number of books that I keep coming back to regularly. So, for everyone wondering, here is my (ever-changing) recommended reading list.

The books on this list come from a variety of theological viewpoints, but contain great truths about our God and the character of human life. The books that are in bold font are books I can’t more highly recommend in each section, but all of the books on this list are worth a read, even if they fall outside your current theological positioning. I hope this list is a help to you.
