BOOK CORNER
Best Books 2020 (continued from December 2020)
Mike McKevitt, deacon Chasing Contentment by Erik Raymond The subtitle is “Trusting God in a Discontented Age,” which I'm sure everyone would agree that we live in discontented times. The book is a good reminder that being content doesn't mean we ignore those problems, but we can nevertheless rest in our sovereign God in the midst of such issues.
Mike Solis, pastoral resident The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism by Jemar Tisby
Hidden Worldviews by Steve Wilkens & Mark Sanford
Wil Triggs, director of communications
In His Image: 10 Ways God Calls Us to Reflect His Character by Jen Wilkin
Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund
Penny Thrasher, board of missions Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been by Jackie Hill Perry "I used to be a lesbian." Jackie, with masterful skill, shares her story of coming to faith in Jesus. So refreshingly beautiful!
Randy Jahns, elder Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund
Mindy Rynbrandt, director of women’s ministries
Tom Paulsen, culture impact committee
Uncommon Ground: Living Faithfully in a World of Difference by Tim Keller & John Inazu
The Oracle by Jonathan Cahn
Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul by Hannah Anderson
Evangelism in a Skeptical World by Sam Chan Zach Fallon, high school pastor If someone is looking for a new, solid book that offers an introductory level on the biblical storyline I would recommend Unfolding Grace (crossway.org/bibles/unfolding-gracehcj/), newly released from Crossway and also the workbook that goes with it. We are planning on using it in Project Discipleship with some of our high school students next semester.
The book is a fascinating look at the intersection of the prophesies related to the children of Israel returning to their homeland and historical events.
