We love the authority and sufficiency of the Bible. There is no substitute in the life of the believer for the Word of God. In His Word, God has communicated perfectly all that we need for salvation, for growth, and for living a life that is pleasing to Him. (2 Tim 3:16-17) And the Lord desires us to think deeply about what He has communicated in His Word and to respond appropriately. One profoundly beneficial aid in our pursuit of honoring the Lord personally is to be instructed by the careful biblical thinking of others in good books. Many saints have gone before us and pursued the Lord faithfully, and their words can help us explore the riches of scripture, and can help us grow in our love for the Lord and our love for others, our pursuit of the Lord and our pursuit of holiness. There are countless resources that are just a click away, and many are really beneficial.

Our desire is to point the church towards the best resources available. With these things in mind, the elders at Gilbert Bible Church have given thought to recommended reading for the body. If you would like a recommendation based upon topic, please reach out to [email protected]. We would love to help!

Below is recommended reading in the form of a book of the month. Each month, we will recommend a book, give a brief summary and a reading plan for that book. Building and maintaining the habit of reading even a small amount each day will help you to work through many good books, and to think more carefully and more biblically about many beneficial topics.
