BOOKS

1. If you can only read one book this year on church history and the Reformation, pick this one: The Unquenchable Flame: Discovering the Heart of the Reformation.*

Burning pyres, nuns on the run, stirring courage, and comic relief: the Protestant Reformation is a gripping tale, packed with drama. But what motivated the Reformers? And what were they really like?

The Unquenchable Flame, a lively, accessible, and fully informative introduction to the Reformation by Michael Reeves, brings to life the movement’s most colorful characters (Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, The Puritans, etc.), examines their ideas, and shows the profound and personal relevance of Reformation thinking for today.

2. If you can only read one book this year to increase your joy and understanding of the gospel, pick this one: Complete In Him.*

*Note: Both books are, or will soon be, available for purchase at church.

3. If you need one book to help reveal the subtle, but vital, differences between Protestant Christianity and Catholicism, this may help: Nothing In My Hand I Bring. (Free download of cover, contents, and chapter 1.)
