Thread: 4 Books no Christian live without

  1. #1

    Default 4 Books no Christian live without

    1. Radical by David Platt--- A excellent read that challenges us to live like Jesus and take on Jesus's call to evangelism and discipleship. This book challenges the reader to re-think the american dream. As a result of God using this book I have donated far more to compassion International the the Bible League

    2. Slave by John MacArthur--- Discover your true identity in Christ. Is life all about you pursuing your dreams? Or does life have a greater purpose? Who is your master? God, Satan, the world, or yourself?

    3. One Minute after you die by Erwin Lutzer--- How will you spend eternity? Will you be in hell or heaven? What will hell or heaven be like? A most excellent book on individual eschatology and death.

    4. Until Christ Returns by David Jeremiah-- A great read on how we should live our lives awaiting the return of Christ. Should we be spending all our time earning money to pay for our dream houses and cars? Should we be spending all our time working on the Lords day in our effort to be financially free? How should we live and what should we do as we await Christ's return, or our death?

    'Footsteps of Messiah' by Arnold Fruchtenbaum

    'Heaven' by Randy Alcorn
    The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
    Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
    (Psa 19:1b-2)

    I'm glad you got something positive out of these, but I must warn others that Platt is Emergent and I'd expect MacArthur's book to be rife with his Lordship Salvation.

    This board does not promote either and I would be careful getting doctrine/theology from either.

    It's interesting that I found this thread about books because today I decided to go to the local Christian bookstore. I havn't been in a while. I guess a loonngg while! It was sad, seems like all the books on the shelves were by emergents, wof, etc. It was just so weird.

    The only book that you cannot live without is the Bible.

    Although for starters, dispatches from bitter America by Todd Starnes is essential.
    The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. (Revelation 22:21) ESV
