Here are my favorite books that I’d like to recommend for my friends. Some of these I discovered through college courses at The Master’s College, others may have been handed to me by a friend, promoted by a blog I follow, or suggested by one of my church pastors. I hope you find them beneficial to you in more ways than one. Lately I’ve started giving books as a gift to people after seeing how valuable the truths in them have become to me. If you find yourself really enjoying a book on this list, my challenge to you is to buy it for someone or pass your copy around for others to borrow. Who knows, the book might be what the person needed right at that point in their life.
