Quick Book Recommendation

October 28, 2006

Lar,

I would like to recommend a book this week that I have not yet read. In fact, I might not read it at all (sort of). See, it is 031025599601_aa240_sclzzzzzzz_v65766406_.jpgcalled Christian Beliefs and is by Dr. Wayne Grudem. The reason I want to recommend it even though I might never read it is because I am presently reading his Systematic Theology and thoroughly enjoying it. I have looked through that work before, but I have set it aside as my nightly read before I go off to sleep. And what a wonderful practice this has been as I dose off thinking of God. There is just no better way to rest in my opinion!

Christian Beliefs is the shortest version of Grudem’s Systematic Theology. 031028670001_bo2204203200_pisitb-dp-500-arrowtopright45-64_aa240_sh20_ou01_sclzzzzzzz_v65765812_.jpgThere is one between the two entitled Bible Doctrine (pictured below)031022233801_bo2204203200_pisitb-dp-500-arrowtopright45-64_aa240_sh20_ou01_sclzzzzzzz_v36940747_.jpg- which comes in at about 600 pages I think. Erin is reading it right now. And in all honesty, he is not a hard read. He explains everything well and exults over the truths he presents. I can’t recommend him highly enough. So if you are looking for a doctrinal introduction, look no further. Check our Grudem’s Christian Beliefs, or if you are up for it his Bible Doctrine. And if you really want to go for it, join me in reading his Systematic Theology. Little by little and you can get it done. It might take 6 months of so, but 20 minutes a night will make it happen. And I can tell you, the fruit is rewarding.

So Lar, I suppose I just recommended three books. Well, so be it. Check out Grudem. He’s a great teacher. You won’t regret it, no matter which one you choose to read.

Peace out for now,

Joe
