Recommended Reading

Reading the Bible is vital to growing in our faith and deepening our relationship with God. There are many great books out there that help us understand the Bible better and will enrich our faith and stimulate our minds for God. Andrew and Antonio recommend the following good books and authors for you to get into:

 

The Bible

We recommend the English Standard Version (ESV) translation. It is one of the most faithful to the original Hebrew and Greek and is highly recommended by respected Reformed evangelical theologians.

The ESV Study Bible is one of the best study Bibles on the market.
