Recommended Books

I’ve got two books to recommend.  Both of these are great ‘devotional’ reads, meaning the chapters are short (most are only 2 to 5 pages long) and provide good content on which to reflect.  I highly recommend each of them to you!  If you'd like to read more about the book or purchase it online, simply click on the image.


In Christ Alone by Sinclair Ferguson. 

As the title suggests, this book reflects both on the person of Christ as well as his work -- the redemption he has accomplished as well as how it is applied in our lives.  For the most part, each short chapter focuses on a particular passage of Scripture so you can see clearly how his words are rooted in the Bible.  Overall, the book has great content and is very easy to read.

 



Whiter than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy by Paul David Tripp. 

Even shorter chapters (or as the title calls them, ‘meditations’) taken from Psalm 51, a psalm written by David reflecting on the depth of his sin.  This book helps us think about the gravity of our sin while still keeping in clear view the grace of God.  The end of each chapter has a couple of questions for personal reflection.
