Christian Books
Book Recommendations for Christian Understanding and Depth
A list of books to possibly help you on your personal journey and understanding of Christianity.
The following resources are my list of books that may be of value as you are either seeking truth or want to have a firmer footing of your beliefs. Always be prepared to have an answer on why you believe.
The Bible
Of all the resources that are listed below, there is one resource that should be your primary, The Word of God.
- Bible.com and download the YouVersion Bible App (available on iOS and Android).
Try reading through the New Testament (pick* either NIV, ESV, or CSB as the version). There is as 60 Day New Testament Journey where you can either read it or have the Bible App read it to you.
*Note — If you have the Bible App read the words to you, I find the ESV or CSB to be better (voices) than the NIV. The NIV seems to be more of a computer reading text.
