Recommended Reading List

The priority of a Christian should be to know the Word. This can only by done by reading the Scriptures. No other book on the planet can replace the knowledge and growth in sanctification that comes from personal Bible study.

However, the Lord has been pleased to bless us with many great books that will help us grow in our understanding of Scripture and all the glorious doctrines found in the Word.

This list is my own top ten recommendations and is based on what I have read and found most helpful. There are some absolute classics that I have not got around to reading, and as a result they will not be on this list.

This list will grow in the future, but these are simply the readings I would recommend to someone who has not read much theology or is only beginning to read more.
