Recommended Reading

Here is a list of books that we recommend. We do not necessarily endorse every word of each book but do believe that they are helpful books to read, for anybody desiring to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ. If you click on the book title, you will be directed to the Amazon page for that book. In addition, we have several of these books (and hopefully soon all of them) available for check out in our church library.
