Other Resources
These are a few resources that have impacted me on my journey with Christ. It's not an exhaustive list, but they are works that have ministered to me and speak to critical heart issues of our Faith in Christ. More will follow as God leads.
Some of the books are marked Foundational It is best to read these first as they are good resources to help build the foundation of your faith. I wish I had read them early on in my faith! They are powerful, thought-provoking and meaningful resources that will assist you, wherever you are, in your journey to wholeness and freedom in Christ.
If you choose to read these works, offer yourself to God and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your heart. It will be profound and life-changing if you do.

Provocations by Søren Kierkegaard A powerful book of many of Søren Kierkegaard's thoughts and writings on Christianity. Be ready to think and see with your spiritual eyes and be ready to repent. One could say Kierkegaard was cynical and I wouldn't completely disagree, but the truth of his observations about watered-down Christianity are poignant. |
|
The Illuminated Heart by Frederica Mathewes-Green A beautiful book about our inner life with Christ as the ancient Christians portrayed. In the new language of today, you could say this is along the lines of spiritual formation. It's a small book full of meaning and significant principles. |
|
No Man Is an Island by Thomas Merton Profound and contemplative reflections and principles on our inward journey with God, and Christ being formed in us. This is not a read-all-the-way-through book. It's something you will need to digest (nearly paragraph by paragraph in my experience) in thought and prayer as you go. |
|
Shattered Dreams by Dr. Larry Crabb Dr. Crabb writes about the abundant life in Christ in a way that is powerful and lovingly convicting. His insight into the differences between joy and happiness and pain being a doorway, not a road block, and are spiritually discerned, honest, and humanly beautiful. |

The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee - Foundational God ministered to me in a supernatural way during the time I was reading this book. If you have been a Christian for some time, pray for an open heart before you read and be prepare to listen to what is described as the normal Christian life. |

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis was given profound insight into the spiritual battle and an equal giftedness in writing about it. God is not the author of confusion, and Lewis is able to write to us in ways that strip away the enemy's lies and attemts to confuse Christianity. He also eloquently rebukes our judgemental behaviors and helps to see God is truly in control. |

Total Forgiveness by R.T. Kendall - Foundational If you want to live in freedom, forgiveness is a necessity. You may know in your heart you've not completely forgiven someone. Or, you may not realize you haven't completely forgiven (you're carrying a STD). Maybe you've not received forgiveness or forgiven yourself. This is one of the major struggles in the Christian walk. Read Total Forgiveness - for your sake and the sake of the Kingdom. |

Telling Yourself The Truth, Telling Each Other The Truth by William Backus - Foundational These well-written and biblically-based books will guide you through the lies and misbeliefs that keep you in bondage. The author offers biblical principles of dealing with anxiety, fear, anger, depression and co-dependency that will help you battle lies, own your thoughts and emotions, and lead you into greater freedom. You will likely refer back to it (them) periodically. |

True Freedom by Dr. Verle Bell - Foundational An excellent book on our freedom in Christ. The book's subtitle is "Moving away from the bondage of your past life". Dr. Bell methodically moves the reader, chapter building on chapter, from God's matchless grace to dealing with pride and stewarding our thoughts, the difference between humility and humiliation, and finally a good chapter on gratitude. It's an old book and out of print, but I found copies on the Internet for as little as fourty-five cents! |
