7. Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion by Rebecca McLaughlin
A book on apologetics. Seems like the Christian publishing industry has been publishing tons of good books on evangelism and apologetics in the past 5-10 years. This book looks good.

With this book, Paul Miller seeks to teach his readers a thing or two about personal discipleship.
9. Spirit and Sacrament: An Invitation to Eucharismatic Worship by Andrew Wilson
The outworkings of charismatic practice and a serious devotion to the sacraments are often divided. Wilson in this book attempts to unite the two, something he calls “Eucharismatic.”
10. The Hand of God: Finding His Care in All Circumstances by Alistair Begg
Begg has been a faithful preacher for decades. In The Hand of God, he examines the life of Joseph and writes on God’s providential care for those who are hurting.
Read these books and thank me next year.
Great review Assurance Patrick.
Alistair Begg’s book is one which I believe would be exceptionally motivating.
I’d recommend Apostle Arome Osayi’s book “Choice: Man’s Most Important Power”
The book is ready for preordering!
