The following list of books, assembled by Rev. Mark Pearson, is an excellent resource for further reading on the Gospel and the Christian Life.

Mere Christianity

Finding Faith

Willard is on a quest for Christianity to be transformative, not just about beliefs.

The Divine Conspiracy

Challenges readers to rise above mere “Jesus and me” to transforming culture.
