Knowledge of the Holy
Christian Life by
A.W. Tozer
What is the path towards knowing God? Do we have to be intelligent because he can be found in an intellectual way? Or do we have to be loving and faithful to see God in everything?
A man with proven character, A.W. Tozer presents the attributes of God in a very insightful manner. This knowledge can help us look into our lives using His lens and see how He sees us. Moreover, it may save us from years of grief because knowing who He is can redefine us as persons of worth and dignity.

The Lord’s Table
Christian Life by
Andrew Murray
The Lord’s Table by Andrew Murray is a two-week devotional divided into three parts that aim to strengthen believers’ appreciation of God’s word. One week before the Lord’s Supper, the first section prepares our hearts. Murray discusses partaking during Communion in the second part. After the Sabbath, the third portion takes us to another week of thought. Murray adds to our understanding of the beauty and power of sharing the Lord’s Supper. To uncover the power of Communion, he encourages us to ponder on and apply each portion to our life, rather than simply reading and understanding it. This book is an excellent resource for individuals who want to grow in their faith through receiving Communion. Murray compassionately encourages us to meditate on a deeper level of satisfaction than simply accepting the bread and wine on the surface.
The Lonely God
Christian Life by
Ron Dart
In the beginning, God created the world. If He created the world, then who was with Him before the beginning? Why did He create us?
The Lonely God is the first book published by Ron Dart. He shrinks a topic of vast scope into a thin volume, ranging from God before the creation to the final judgment. Dart shows the attributes of God through Biblical context and common sense. If you know someone close to you who struggles to settle Biblical truths with practical living, this book can be of great help. It reintroduces God in fresh eyes whose nature is muddled by our culture’s misinterpretations of Christianity. Dart’s objective is not to create a theory or argue for any dogma but to share the journey about God and find friendship in Him. As a reader, may we find that relationship as we search for Him through this book.
God’s Passion for His Glory
Christian Life by
John Piper
This book is an exposition of the essay written by Jonathan Edwards titled, “The End by which God created the World.” In that dissertation, Edwards proclaimed that God’s ultimate end is to manifest His glory in the happiness of his creations. In this book, John Piper explores the relevance of the truth presented by Edwards to our lives as Christians today.
This exposition has two parts. The first part is a eulogy to Edwards by Piper explaining the impact of the former on the latter’s life. The second part is like reading Edward’s work through someone’s formatted book with all the explanatory footnotes, definitions to obsolete words and philosophical ideas, and highlights of the most important sections. Piper presented this 300-year-old writing in a manner that a modern man can understand. May this book help us understand a treasure that may be old but is still a treasure.
God Entranced Vision of All Things
Christian Life by
John Piper
When you hear the Word of God, what message is etched in your heart? Is it the fear of eternal damnation in hell, or is it the eternal life in Heaven with Him?
This book is a compilation of 10 essays written by different persons examining the works of Jonathan Edwards. It is divided into three parts. The first part examines the life and legacy of Edwards. The second part looks at the positive and negative lessons extracted from his teachings. And the third part is written by three Edwards scholars who delve deeper into his most influential and demanding works.
Some of what Edwards wrote are hard to understand, while some can be understood but are simply hard to accept. May this work help us understand and accept the truths Edwards shared about salvation and our position in Him.
Doctrine of Repentance
Christain Life by
Thomas Watson
What is the common factor between Jesus’ first sermon and farewell address? Both of them are about repentance. As human beings, we are not infallible. We may be faithful, but we still made mistakes. In times like that, what should we do? Walk as if nothing happened and continue with our old ways? Or feel the weight of our sin and repent?
Faith and repentance are two graces necessary to preserve our spiritual life. No matter how faithful we claim to be, we can never be saved without repentance. And any religion not built on its foundation is like a castle built on sand.
The Doctrine of Repentance by Thomas Watson is a book to rebuke and to give us hope at the same time. With all the things happening in the world, this work resonates the number one thing we deeply need today. Everyone is a sinner, but only the repenting sinner can be saved. So let no one boast about their sin but truly repent from it.
The Doctrine of Sanctification
Christian Life by
A.W. Pink
What is sanctification? Is it something we have in Christ or ourselves? Is it absolute or progressive? How can we obtain it? Is it through something done for us, by us, or both? If a person claims to be sanctified, what is the evidence that will prove that claim? What is the difference and connection of sanctification to holiness, justification, purification, regeneration, and glorification?
In this book, A.W. Pink wrote about a sensitive topic that should be examined with clear eyes and not with rose-colored glasses. Pink had written it with fear and trembling. But also, with hopes that it may not mislead His people but please the Holy Spirit.
This guide reminds us that our old nature is alive and will continue to pull us back. But it also encourages us to continuously strive for holiness, not by our might, but through the fullness that we can only find through Christ Jesus.
Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount
Christian Living by
A.W. Pink
What is the most well-known sermon that exists until today? Is it the speech of the most prolific teacher? If it is, then who would that teacher be?
The Sermon of the Mount is God’s instruction on how we should live as we follow His way. This book by A.W. Pink is a verse by verse exposition covering Matthew 5 to 7. It answers the questions raised about the meaning of the Lord’s sermon and brings out its practical teaching that we can apply to our lives. In this book, we will be confronted by many false ideas that most of us had probably heard and believed about the Lord’s sermon. Moreover, its message will not pamper our ego but lead us to examine our lives in the light of the Scriptures. So if you crave for deeper things and you want to understand the inner life in Christ, pick this book.
