UNDER THE TREE

Curated gifts for those on your Christmas list from 10ofthose

By Jonathan Carswell

CHILDREN

Little Pilgrims Progress Illustrated By Helen Taylor

It’s really hard to beat this as a great gift for kids. Suitable for ages five-nine. It’s the well-known classic told through the voices of animals

TEENS

Out of the Black Shadows By Stephen Lungu with Anne Coomes

This is a brilliant biography of Stephen Lungu—a member of the gang, “Black Shadows”—tasked with firebombing a local church. When he arrived at the church, the meeting had already started and something was going to happen that would change his life forever

COLLEGE

Student Guide to World View By Sharon James

A superb introduction to understanding the world, how it sees God, and how we can take Jesus to our friends.

ADULTS

Two of the best books I’ve read this year are:

Seed of the Woman By Nana Dolce

This is a biblical theology of women in the Old Testament, from Genesis 3 to Mary and Elizabeth in the New Testament. I benefited from meditating on their stories and seeing their roles in the line of Christ.

Delighting in the Trinity By Michael Reeves

This book has perhaps done more for my walk with God the Father than any other I’ve read. A thought provoking read that will hugely benefit your relationship with God.

PARENTS

Reading Between the Lines, Volumes 1 & 2 By Glen Scrivener

Parenting is busy—whatever stage the kids are at—and so we often look for something to help get us into the Bible that is edifying and refreshing, but not too long. This book is really good! Taking well known phrases from the Bible, it works you through the storyline of the Bible and you’ll fall in love with Jesus all over again.

GRANDPARENTS

In Her Words By Patricia St John

Many grandparents may remember the writings of Patricia St John. She was a brilliant storyteller and worker for the Lord. Here she tells her own story . . . a book Rev. Dick Lucas says it is, “One of the best books he read in the last year.”

RETIRED PEOPLE

A Good Old Age By Derek Prime

This is an A-Z of the Christian life, written by Derek Prime, who mentored Alistair Begg. Wonderfully rich, with nice large print—ideal for those who are Christians, or perhaps those just looking into the faith.
