With the our new online Bookstore up and running, we'll be using the Blog occasionally to let you know about great books that we think would help you grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ.
One such book has just released today, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Although I haven't read it yet, I trust and respect the author as a pastor, and have also read some great reviews of the books already.
The book is called Dug Down Deep: Unearthing What I Believe and Why It Matters by Josh Harris. It's supposed to be a very personal story of discovering the importance of theology - knowing God deeply and truly from his Word. And I hear that it's very accessible, enjoyable, and deeply rooted both in real life and the Bible.
Here's a blurb about it:
For the indifferent or spiritually numb, Harris's humorous and engaging reflections on Christian beliefs show that orthodoxy isn't just for scholars—it is for anyone who longs to know the living Jesus Christ. As Harris writes, "I've come to learn that theology matters. It matters not because we want to impress people, but because what we know about God shapes the way we think and live. Theology matters because if we get it wrong, then our whole life will be wrong."Need to go deeper into the truth of God without drowning in the deep waters? Or maybe you've forgotten how truth and doctrine matter and apply in your everyday life? This sounds like a book for you.
Whether you are just exploring Christianity or you are a veteran believer finding yourself overly familiar and cold-hearted, Dug Down Deep will help you rediscover the timeless truths of Scripture.
If you want a preview, you can look at the Table of Contents and read the entire first chapter here.
