The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller
NYC Pastor Keller reveals God’s prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic—and demonstrates how Christ’s followers are supposed to love.

Paul by Charles Swindoll
Paul’s life was never dull. First appearing in the New Testament as a violent enemy of Christ, Paul later went on not only to put his faith in the risen Lord but to pen thirteen letters of the New Testament--in the midst of being beaten, shipwrecked, snake bitten, imprisoned, and chased out of town. In this book you will travel down the road to Damascus with Paul and discover the passion for Jesus that drove this hero of the faith.

The Bible Jesus Read by Philip Yancey
The Old Testament is God’s biography, the story of his passionate encounters with people and also a prequel to the story of Jesus. Yancey explores the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings in an effort to know God better. He reveals how the Old Testament deals with the same questions we face today.

Know Doubt by John Ortberg

Writing from his own struggle with faith and uncertainty, John Ortberg proposes that the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty, and considers how the right kind of doubt may actually deepen our faith and strengthen our relationship with God.

The Reason for God by Timothy Keller
Timothy Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics and non-believers bring to religion.

To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand and to skeptics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.
