Who would have predicted the contemporary resurgence of Reformed theology? Nevertheless, it has proven a major force in the Christian world of late. Here are several book recommendations on the subject of Reformed theology.
Top Recommendation
Putting Amazing Back Into Grace
I do not use the term life-changing easily, but I do not believe it would be unfair to say that this book can change a life. It is a stunning portrayal of the doctrines of grace and one I know I will return to often. I give it my wholehearted recommendation for all believers. If you do not know the doctrines of grace, read this book and discover them for yourself. If you do, read this book to rediscover their greatness. This book will leave you in awe before the greatness of our God.
