booksEvery Monday I have a new post published at For The Church. In today’s piece I’m recommending “10 Books for Your Church’s Book Table”. Why?

The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association recently revealed the top 100 selling Christian books in 2016. When this list started making the rounds on social media, most ministry leaders I read were noticeably disappointed. And understandably so, as, apart from a few exceptions, the list appears full of superficial inspiration, silly gift books, and pop spirituality bordering on word-of-faith heresy.

. . . If you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or otherwise concerned layperson, you are wisely asking yourself, “How do we work to fix this?”

Perhaps not the biggest solution but still an influential help is in the kinds of books we read ourselves, and especially in the kinds of books we quote from in sermons, recommend in our conversations and on social media, and otherwise share with others. Some pastors are wondering if a church bookstore might help.

. . . . [So] whether you have a large bookstall or an average one, if you’re concerned about shaping your congregation spiritually and intellectually according to the gospel, here are 10 books you should think about including . . .
