Options for Next Month

I told you guys I would be willing to host next month and suggest some books having to do with our personal growth and soul care. I wanted to throw a couple ideas out there and get some feedback from you tomorrow.

1. 'The Enemy Within' - by: Kris Lundgaard - A book dealing with the power of sin and our struggle to fight our own flesh.

2. 'Through the Looking Glass' - by: Kris Lundgaard - A compelling book about the person of Jesus Christ as proclaimed in the Bible.

3. 'Dethroning Jesus' - by: Darrell Bock and Daniel Wallace from Dallas Seminary - A book looking at contemporary culture's view of Jesus and contrasting that with the Bible's portrayal of Jesus Christ! Great book but a little scholarly.

4. 'God's Lesser Glory' - by: Bruce Ware of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary - Fight against open theism. Great book that really expanded my view of God.

5. 'The Truth War' - by: John MacArthur - Really a walk through the book of Jude, discussing the importance of truth and the importance of it in ministry and the destruction of false teaching.

If you really want to take it back in the day...

6. 'Pilgrim's Progress' - by: John Bunyan - A classic dealing with the journey of being a Christian.

7. 'The Art of Divine Contentment' - Thomas Watson - Definitely a struggle in my life, being content in whatsoever circumstance I find myself in. Watson looks hard into Scripture to shoot straight about the detriment of discontentment.

8. 'Godly Man's Picture' - Watson - Always striving for godliness as a man of God. Watson helps out with a great detailed look at just about every aspect of life.

These are just a few of the books that have been crucial to me lately. Hope the ideas help. Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow!
