This past Sunday in the sermons, I recommended several books related to wisdom and discipleship. This coming Lord’s Day, look for them on the Featured Books loan table in the foyer or purchase copies below.
Also, several people asked for the verses I quoted. Here are the outlines for the AM sermon on the Wise and the PM sermon on fools.
The Master Plan of Evangelism
by Robert Coleman
Unfortunately, I misspoke and referred to this as The Master Plan of Discipleship, which is another of Coleman’s books (also worth reading). But the Master Plan of Evangelism is the one which I prefer, which lays out in detail Jesus’ “concentric-circles” method of making disciples. It contains many inspiring and practical observations.
The Spiritual Life
by Cornelius Vitringa
A Reformed classic on practical Christian growth and true spirituality. It was recently translated into modern English from the original Latin text by one of my former professors. It’s not too long or difficult but very rich.
Life in Jesus by Octavius Winslow
Octavius Winslow, a close friend and fellow minister with Charles Spurgeon, is best known for his devotional insights on sanctification. In this book he recounts the life, faith, and influence of his mother, Mary Winslow. Good for all but especially moms and dads who need reminding of the importance of their calling.
