Books to challenge and equip you where God has placed you:

 “Disciplines of A Godly Man” by Kent Hughes  “An outstanding book devoted to the practical outworking of discipline on subjects like purity, marriage, prayer, the tongue, the mind, our work, leadership, ministry and many more.”

“What Every Man Wishes His Father Had Told Him” by Byron Forrest Yawn  “Discover afresh the masculinity that pleases God, enriches marriages, and makes fatherhood the most rewarding occupation you’ll ever know.”

“The Hole in Our Holiness” by Kevin DeJong  “A book for those who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God’s power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.”

“A Neglected Grace: Family worship in the Christian Home” by Jason Helopoulos  “It is our joyful responsibility to lead our home in worshipping the Lord. In the history of the church, family worship has been one of the Christian family’s strongest characteristics. This is a wise, realistic, gospel-motivated (rather than guilt-driven) guide.”

“Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace” by Heath Lambert   The author identifies eight strategies, each based on the work of Christ, that give people locked in the grip of pornography both the fuel and the road map for change. Each chapter is grounded in grace and clearly articulates how to apply the gospel in practical ways. This book has been highly recommended by many including David Murray and Tim Challies. Whether you struggle yourself or are trying to help someone who struggles there is good news. Jesus Christ can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography.

“Beyond Ordinary” by Justin and Trisha Davis  “The authors know all too well the dangers of settling for an ordinary marriage. Their own failure to recognize the warning signs almost resulted in the end of their marriage. They share the invaluable lessons they learned that helped them restore their relationship and transform their ordinary marriage into an extraordinary one. They praise God for breathing new life into a marriage that seemed to have reached the end.”
