I’m reading these two books currently.

The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It, and Why It Matters, Chuck Colson
Great book that simply and powerfully spells out the basics of orthodox Christianity. Every church planter should read this as they prepare to feed their new flocks on God’s core teachings.

The great thing about truth is that if you don’t like what you are hearing here, today, you can change channels and find a thousand different sources of truth. Sad, but “true”.
