In the past, I put together my 100 Best Christian Books Ever Written List. To my pleasant surprise, each day people are purchasing books from this list.
I also made a special audio for it called Building Your Spiritual Library: Thoughts on Christian Books.
Following that, I created my Best Christian Academic Christian Book List. This list includes theological and scholarly works as well as New Testament commentaries.
Where Do You Retreat?
Thanks Frank. These posts are very helpful. I think many Christians struggle with a related question: How should I read? Have you written anywhere about this? E.g. your own reading habits (daily/weekly schedule, how to take notes, compiling a reading list and balancing it between devotional, church history, ecclesiology, commentaries etc). Also, a number of authors (such as Spurgeon) have got some great advice in this regard, and it would be helpful to hear about this or be directed to such passages/articles/books.
Dear Frank
Excellent Kingdom teaching is essential.
But so is the simple, Holy Spirit-led call to deeper union with Christ on a personal, heart-to-heart level such as is found in Andrew Murray’s classic ‘Abide in Christ’.
This book, I believe, is able to bring Christians into a union with Christ that they never believed possible.
It has utterly changed my spiritual life on the deepest level.
It is deceptively simple but ‘teaches’ on the quintessential practice of abiding in Christ so that everything we do is powered by Him from within – what complete peace and rest!
Hi Frank,
I have listened to the Next Reformation Seminars and I had a question about a book you referenced in the first session. IT is a book on the Anabaptists and I think it you said it was called “The Pilgram Church” Of with F.F. Bruce wrote the forward. I have not been able to find it on amazon? Do you know where I could find that?
Thanks – Aaron
