Book of the Month- February
by Scott Hamilton on Friday, 1st February 2013
In the past we have had all sorts of reading lists which I am pretty sure nobody has actually looked at because of how many books are on there. We wanted to try something a little different this year. We wanted to suggest a book a month for the 12 months of this year. These books fit into what we hope will be the defining characteristics of our church family and reflect some of the things we are emphasising as a church.
We wanted the books to be:
Biblical: because if they are not they are just wasting your time.
Readable: because if they are not you are unlikely to invest your time
and the schedule to be:
Doable: because time is valuable and you want to see that it is possible to be encouraged to do it.
Living the Cross-centred life- Mahaney
This is my favourite first time book give away. Well presented, great content, readable and short. It doesn’t look intimidating for someone who doesn’t consider the self a reader. Great at getting the Gospel front and centre in your life and in your conversations. It really helps you to see what the Christian life looks like. If you like it is a description of the gospel with legs on.
It's also a pretty short book which makes it an ideal candidate as a book you could get through easily in February.
