Serious - Book Recommendations

Here's a list of a few really good books for further study. I read each of these and they are all quite excellent.

Crazy Love by Francis Chan - This book is a great book about the crazy love of God and how we can be changed by it and begin to emulate it in our own lives. It's a great short read. Currently our whole staff team is about to read this one together. I'm looking forward to reading it again!

Knowing God by J.I. Packer - Packer is really great theologian that has a way of explaining the characteristics of God in such a way that it inspires you to fall on your knees and worship God.

The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer - This a must read! Tozer can take take an attribute of God and explain it concisely and understandably in just 3 or 4 pages. It's a short book with short chapters, but it is packed full of wisdom and awe-inspiring thoughts on the nature of God. Read this book!!!

Because We Love Him by Clyde Cranford - This book is written by a man in Arkansas who devoted himself to discipling young men one on one for years. The wise words in this book are amazing. When I first read this book, I remember it being a time of great spiritual growth for me. Check it out.

Desiring God by John Piper - This book helped me form a lot of my theology and spark a passion in me for missions. I was actually reading this book when God called to come plant Fusion Church. It's really good (however long) read!
