In light of this I thought I would share some books that I've read in seminary that have proven to be extremely enlightening. This list is comprised of books I never would have picked up if I was just browsing in a bookstore. In fact, most of them you probably can't even find on the Lifeway, Family Christian, and Barnes & Noble shelves. Yes, it's good to read Crazy Love or Radical every now and then but you're doing yourself a serious disservice if all you read is the newest and most highly praised release from the "in" crowd.
So here's some GREAT books many of you have probably never heard of...
- True Sexual Morality - Daniel Heimbach
- The Reproduction Revolution - Kilner, Cunningham, Hager, eds.
- The Atonement - Leon Morris
- The Cross of Christ - John Stott
- Counseling & Demonization - Grayson Ensign & Edward Howe
- God, Marriage, & Family - Andreas Kostenberger
- How People Grow - Cloud & Townsend
- Set Free! What the Bible Says About Grace - Jack Cottrell
- What the Bible Says About God (3 volumes) - Jack Cottrell
Know that many of these books are some pretty heavy theological reading. But if you're looking for your next read and you want something new that will be a challenge these might surprise you.
If nothing else, reading these books in seminary has taught me one important principle that I should have already known:
Don't judge a book by its cover... or author... or publicity... or age.
