Book Recommendations

[dajoshe]

The Bible of course is, by far, my number one choice for reading. However, I do enjoy reading books about the Holy Trinity, the Christian life, influential Christians, etc. I have read books by Spurgeon, Mueller, Lloyd-Jones, Bunyan, and many others. I was just curious what some of your favorite books on the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit are, or books on anything to do with the Christian life.

Hey, I just saw that book in the bookstore. I haven't read the book yet, but I heard that it's a good book.

Catherine Pinder, Emmet Fox, Charles Fillmore, Jack Hayford, Andrew Wommack,

Well, I'm going to skip the language about reading your Bible first, checking up on what is said (or written), etc.

I have a wide range of reading that I do, but here are some recommendations:

1. Radical by David Platt (This book will change your perception on what we should be doing.)
2. Reflections on the Psalms by C S Lewis
3. Crazy Love by Francis Chan
4. Vintage Church by Mark Driscoll

On top of that, I like most works by E W Bullinger and Derek Prince.
