Our Personal Book List We Recommend: (Read/Reading and of course, constantly growing)

 

NOT endorsing OR endorsed by any below-listed sources. Just personally absorbed material. Also, note all titles DO NOT necessarily support our beliefs. 

 

   We read plenty of literature we know to be profitable for truth for the purpose of better knowing how to approach the untruth with the truth. We try to not recommend bad theological material here, but some could slip into the list. Remember Scripture and Prayer should be your #1 resource for TRUTH and discerning false teaching.
