Suggested Reading

Reading a book in sync with a sermon series is a great habit – it helps you come to grips with the passages or the ideas of the series, and because you only have to read a chapter or two a week over 2 months it’s a great way to get through a good book. Here are some great books you could think about reading during this series:

The Trellis and the Vine, Col Marshall and Tony Payne

Stop Dating the Church, Joshua Harris

Center Church, Timothy Keller

Everyday Church, Tim Chester and Steve Timmis

The Living Church, John Stott
