is that a photo of your bookshelf at home brother? that sure is a strong presence of macarthur and chuck swindoll...let me add one name to that...
john piper. his books and sermons of late have been such a blessing to me in my search for a much much deeper relationship with our God. let me recommend two books at this time - 'seeing and savouring Jesus Christ' and 'counted righteous in Christ'. 'seeing and savouring Jesus Christ' can be used and enjoyed by both believers and non-Christians (the chapters and the book as a whole is short and there is a wealth of information in each chapter). the book allows the lost to see Jesus and allows believers to savour their Lord afresh. remember we have 144 of these books to distribute as we approach Christmas - please pray for this outreach we are undertaking. the second book absolutely blew me away - 'counted righteous in Christ' should be read by every new believer and even by spiritually mature brothers and sisters. this book took me about 3 weeks to read on and off - the third chapter was tough going but what a reward at the end - to fully grasp that the Lord has imputed / credited to us His righteousness through faith in Him is a most glorious truth to lay hold of and live!

Counted righteous in Christ is amazing! One of the most pivotal reads i've had these past few years, to understand and have the imputed righteousness of Christ explained to us and to understand that the cross not only declares us righteous but also declares God righteous even in His forbearance of our sin! AMAZING!
Oh and yeh it was a pic of one of the shelves at home! The pic is a recommendation in itself!
