Sierra View Presbyterian Church

Many of you have asked what books I have been reading, which ones have been helpful during sermon preparation or personal study. Some have asked which books are my favorites with respect to this issue or that. I have compiled a list, though incomplete, of some of the books that I have referenced during sermons or otherwise find helpful in the Christian faith. I hope you are encouraged to pick up any of these books whenever you have a few extra dollars.

(Necessary Disclaimer: Though I recommend each of these books, neither I, Sierra View Presbyterian Church, nor the Presbyterian Church in America, necessarily endorse everything printed in these books.)
