Summer Reading Suggestions

This summer if you are looking for some good books to read here are a few I’d recommend.

“The Last Word” by N.T. Wright- This book will help you answer the question “Can we still trust the Bible to lead the church?”  Wright will help you understand some of the arguments among folks who fight over the Bible.

“The Language of God” by Francis Collins- a brilliant scientist who is an evangelical talks about how science can be the language of God!  This book takes a view of creation much different than popularized by many conservative Christians today.  I encourage you to read it!

“Left Behind?  What the Bible Really Says about the End Times” by James M. Efrid (Smyth and Helwys publishing)- tackles popular ‘rapture/left behind’ ideas of the Second Coming and does so in a easy to follow way.  He shows that not all Christians agree with the current LEFT BEHIND view of the second coming.

“The Dawkins Delusion” by Alister McGrath and Joanna Collicutt McGrath- If you have read Dawkin’s “The God Delusion” and are troubled by the issues raised this book is a good response.  It is brief so this is more of an overview of the issues.

I’ll add more books as I have time but these would be great to read if you are looking to expand your horizon.
