The Grace of God

The Grace of God By Andy Stanley / Thomas Nelson

A fresh look at the way God's grace operated in the Old and New Testaments and how it can work in our lives.  A very encouraging and well written book.

Paul

Paul: In Fresh Perspective By N.T. Wright / Augsburg Fortress

This is one of the best books on Paul that I have ever read. Very scholarly but very readable. Highly recommended.

Introducing Paul

Introducing Paul: The Man, His Mission, and His Message By Michael F. Bird / IVP Academic

This is a great introduction to Paul that deals with the important issues.  Not overly technical but still thorough.

The Resurrection of Jesus

The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach By Michael R. Licona / IVP Academic

This is an extremely important book looking at the resurrection from a historiographical perspective.  Highly recommended.

Death of the Messiah vol. 2

The Death of the Messiah: From Gethsemane to the Grave, Volume 2 By Raymond Brown / Yale University Press

This is the second part of Raymond Brown's epic work on the passion narrative.  Half of this volume are appendices with much helpful information.

The Me I Want to Be

The Me I Want to Be By John Ortberg / Zondervan

This is a great book that challenges us on how we live our lives and what God wants us to be.  Not a power of positive thinking book but a biblical reflection of what it means to be human.

Journal of John Wesley

The Heart of John Wesley's Journal By Edited by Percy Livingston Parker / Hendrickson Publishers

This selection from the John Wesley's journal is a great encouragement and challenge to modern Christians.

Legends of Ga'Hoole: The Capture

This is a fantastic adventure story about owls dealing with injustice.  This is the first book of the series.  Definitely not just for children.
