“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” - Mark Twain

"He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own.” - Charles Spurgeon

“Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” - Charles Spurgeon

Try to avoid reading good books. Reading is an investment of a limited resource: your time. Use it wisely. Strive only to read great books.

In the descriptions below, each book is either categorized as introductory, moderate, advanced, or children, as well as other potential designations:

• "Introductory" are books that are very accessible to anyone.
• "Moderate" reflects books that are more in-depth but still very much readable and understandable for most people.
• "Advanced" books are much more scholarly works; they may be more difficult for those who are not as studied in these areas.
• "Children" designates books for children.
• "Practical" indicates the book has a particular aim at practical Christian living.
• "Technical" means that the book contains some technical elements like more sophisticated argumentation or use of Greek and Hebrew.
• "Archaic" means that, even if the content itself is not terribly advanced, the book's language is dated and may be more difficult to understand.
• "Devotional" indicates these resources are intended for use in a devotional context.
• "Reference" works are those that are not meant to be read straight through but are great to have available as resources to reference.
