| The Saving Life of Christ
|
|
|
Major Ian Thomas
(1961)
Amazing book.
'Christ in you, the hope of glory' is the books' (and the authors)
consistent theme.
The kind of book you always go back to. Taken mainly from pictures in the
Old Testament concerning Israel's exodus from Egypt and entry into Canaan.
Jesus as our life is its theme.

| If I Perish, I Perish

|
|
Major Ian Thomas (1971)
Have you seen the
Christian life in the book of Esther? It will be hard to see it any other
way after reading this book!
Uses each of the main characters to present an allegory of the Christians'
battle between flesh and spirit. Awesome! Helps you learn how to see
Christ in the Old Testament.

| The Normal Christian Life
|
|
|
Watchman Nee (1965)
Based on Paul's letter to the Romans,
this book has been seen by many as the classic on the Christian life.
Awesome insight into what actually happened in the death and resurrection of Jesus and our identification with that while not neglecting how that applies to our daily lives.

| The Green Letters (Principles of Spiritual
Growth)
|
|
|
Miles J. Stanford (1975)

What started out as a collection of letters written to friends has turned
into a widely read book presenting key spiritual growth truths. Very
practical and encouraging, it presents all of the foundational components
of the Christian life - the cross, faith, purpose, identification,
discipleship etc - but from a Jesus centered approach.

| Christ Esteem
|
|
|
Don Matzat (1992)
Really valuable in
this age of self-esteem. Shows that we are the problem and that the answer
is not in trying to feel better about ourselves but in looking away to
find a new identity in Jesus. 2nd half of the book is very practical in
how exactly the Lord is able to live through us.

| Romans
Verse by Verse
|
|
|
William R. Newell (1938)
Awesome commentary on
Romans. It's in-depth and not exactly 'quick light reading' but is so clear
on grace and our identification with Jesus that I had to put it in this
section. Very beneficial. Known as a
classic commentary on the book of Romans. Also recommended is Newell's
Hebrews verse by verse. |
