Book Recommendations

a note from Don

A couple of months ago, I asked Georgia Small (a voracious reader) to read and review a couple of books for me.  In addition to writing a review for one of the books that I handed her, she also included a review of the book Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, by David Platt.  This is significant because the ideas that Platt explores in his book dovetail with the sermons that I recently gave on Isaiah 6 and The Rich Young Man.  I hope you'll read Georgia's review of both this book and a short little book, that is more of a Bible study, entitled The Gospel Centered Life: Becoming the Person God Wants You to Be by Steve Timmis and Tim Chester; and I hope that you'll be encouraged to read the books and be strengthened in your faith.
