Reading books is one of the most effective ways to grow in our walk with God. But with millions of books available, and thousands more being written every year, how can you know which ones to read? In order to help you, we've compiled the following list of books and broken them into categories in the hopes that we might help you in finding your next great edifying and equipping book. Please know this, as wonderful as we think these books are, no book should replace the authority and position that Scripture must have in your life. As C.H. Spurgeon once said, "Visit many good books, but live in the Bible." May the Lord bless your reading and study.
