Book Recommendations and Other Resources
John Milton (a Puritan) once said, “Reading need not be merely an interesting pastime or scholarly pursuit, but it has significant theological implications for the Christian.” We agree, so below are some recommended resources to click on- whether you are new to Christian ideas or not. To recommend a resource is not a full scale endorsement of everything you may find on that website, podcast, or from that author, but we trust you will benefit. Enjoy drinking from the deep well!
The Bible Online:
*Disclaimer: there are 100+ English Bible translations, so there are many great (and not so great) versions out there. We recommend the English Standard Version because it strikes the balance between faithful to the original language’s intent (not too loose) and faithful to our own language’s practice (not too wooden). It is also equally useful for preaching, memorization, reading and personal Bible study.
