Recommended Reading April 2020
In this issue of Theology for Life Magazine, we’ve been considering the subject of idolatry and how it impacts the life of the Christian and ministry. We understand we haven’t covered everything on this topic, but it is our prayer, that, hopefully, readers of this issue of Theology for Life will grow in their understanding of idolatry so they can grow in the Word of God, and the grace of God.
If you’ve found this issue helpful and would like to study this subject further, please check out the following reading list below. These books are at the top of their genre in both excellence and readability.
- We Become What We Worship: A Biblical Theology of Idolatry by G.K. Beale
- Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secuarlism, and Other God Substitutes by Nancy Pearcey
I hope you find these as helpful in your walk with the Lord as I have.
In Christ Alone,
Dave Jenkins
