Hey Everyone,

I was recently elected to organize a book store at my church. Do you guys have any recommendations for Christian books? What have you read and what have you thought of them? Also, I have to find books specifically for new Christians. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!!

Much Love,

Krystal :laugh:

Angel_Eyes,

Some good Christian book recommendations that I have are as follows:

Case For Christ

Case For Faith

Bible

Devotional Journals

So Stick A Geranium In Your Hat And Be Happy -Barbra Johnson- (Anything Barbra Johnson she has some awesome inspirational words on giving things to the Lord)

I appologize for not giving you the authors of many of the others suggestion which I listed here...unfortunately I am terrible with names. :sweating:

With Love In Christ,

Danielle

For witnessing, Ron Rhodes books are good ones (Reasoning from the Scriptures with (insert cult/religion). For insight into Islam, Ergun and Emir Caner's Unveiling Islam is good. And yes, they are Christians.

here are some I really like, and think would be great additions to a Christian bookstore

"The power of a praying wife"- Stormie Omartian

"Stepping Heavenward"- Elizabeth Prentiss

"A Woman After God's own Heart"- Elizabeth George

Those are all I can think of right now.

Any Beth Moore Bible Studies!

For fiction, I would suggest Francine Rivers books.

Pilgrims Progress

Oh, I also meant to mention

Jesus Freaks vol. 1 and 2 by DcTalk, with help of "Voice of the Martyrs.

It's like fox's book of martyrs, but it's geared towards teenagers more.

I LOVE these books, they have been so humbling to read what Christians Today are going through.

cs lewis mere christianity (breaks down the building blocks of the christian faith in a way that makes them easier to understand; who is God? is Jesus who He said He was? super good stuff.)

cs lewis the screwtape letters (fictional dialogue between 2 demons trying to mess up the life of a new christian... opens your eyes to what might be going on with the battle in the spiritual realm. my favorite book)

dan stone the rest of the gospel (Christ lives through us; super for those who get burnt out by doing, doing, doing)

steve mcvey grace walk (Christ lives through us)

watchman nee the normal christian life (commentary on Romans; actually, i've heard that any watchman nee book is really good)

oswald chambers my utmost for his highest (wonderful, relevant collection of devotionals)

corrie ten boom the hiding place (autobiography about a christian who hides Jews in Nazi-invaded Holland; awesome testimony of God's faithfulness)

All of the books given here are probably good ones to add.

I say that a good library should have some Bible study references/materials.

Bible dictionaries

Bible commentaries

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
