BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
From the Study
of
Pastor David Green
Brunswick GA
“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the
parchments.” (II Timothy 4:13). Books are important to
any student of the Word of God, but especially to the preacher. Our calling is
special and very serious. We are told to “Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.” (II Timothy 2:15).
A preacher ought to have some books! No doubt about that! However,
the books we use can either help us or harm us, so I have compiled a list of
some books that every sound preacher ought to have in his library. This is by
no means a complete list. As of November 2019
I have in my personal library nearly 2600 books and booklets, not counting ebooks. This list is a collection of some of
my favorites. I'll update these lists as time permits.
If you have any
questions or suggestions, please drop me an email at dgreen@faithdelivered.net.
Keep in mind that not all authors are equal and you'll
find points you disagree with in any book. But there is a Book by which all
others must be judged. That book is the Bible and may
we always be like the Bereans of old who "...were more noble than those
in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts
17:11) As Charles Spurgeon put it, “Visit many good books, but live
in the Bible.”
