Esther’s Picks

For me, reading books (and the Bible) has allowed me not only to fill my mind with truth, but to constantly dwell on that truth.  What a blessing from God that there is an endless supply of resources to learn more about Him! My bookshelf is full of books, many of which are on my “to read” list, but here a few of my favorites:

1. Trusting God by Jerry Bridges
2. Humility by C.J. Mahaney
3. Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul David Tripp
4. A Gospel Primer for Christians by Milton Vincent
5. Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon
6. The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges
7. This Momentary Marriage by John Piper
8. Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur

(And I second all the ones that have been mentioned already!!! heheh)

Jenny’s Picks

I agree with Esther and third the choices mentioned above! I love reading missionary biographies, seeing how men and women of the faith devoted their lives to exalt Christ to the ends of the earth, so I included a couple of those as well. Here is a list of books that have nourished my soul and my walk with God:

1. Shadow of the Almighty by Elisabeth Elliot
   
2. George Muller: Man of Faith and Miracles by Basil Miller (or check out Autobiography of George Miller for the full version!)
3. Attributes of God by Arthur W. Pink
   
4. The Gospel & Personal Evangelism by Mark Dever
   
5. The Lost Art of Disciple Making  by LeRoy Eims
6. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs
   
7. Then Sings my Soul by Robert J. Morgan (this book is different in that it contains a collection of hymns with the stories behind them)
