books

Below you’ll find bibliographies on selected subjects related to the Christian faith. You can use these reading lists to guide you in your own study and to help you fill out your personal and family libraries. Francis Bacon hit the nail on the head: “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested!”

Here at New Hope, we’ve long believed that one of our most important callings as Christians is the renewing of our minds, so we’ve always encouraged thoughtful reading of good Christian books. The works listed below—a mix of historical classics and recent contributions—have influenced our church’s faith and life over the years. There’s spiritual nourishment in these pages!
