How I Choose Books
Daily deals are divided into Christian Book Deals and General Market Book Deals. For the Christian Book Deals, I apply discernment to my choices and try to only include books I can recommend without significant caveats. For the General Market Book Deals, I do my best to include books that will be interesting and inoffensive. That said, these books are from the general market and, therefore, may not reflect a Christian worldview.

Christian deals for October 18:
Why I Trust the Bible
William D. Mounce
Bill Mounce, a veteran translator who chaired the ESV New Testament committee, answers the real questions people raise about Scripture—whether Jesus actually lived, whether the Gospels were written too late to be trusted, and whether the text has been handed down accurately. He makes the case that the Bible is better attested and more defensible today than it has ever been.
Telling a Better Story
Joshua D. Chatraw
Joshua Chatraw offers an “inside out” approach to apologetics that begins by listening to the stories people already live by, then shows how the gospel tells a better one. It won a Christianity Today Book Award in apologetics and evangelism, and Tim was glad to recommend it when he reviewed it in 2020.
Essential Truths of the Christian Faith
R.C. Sproul
In more than one hundred short chapters, R.C. Sproul explains the core doctrines of the Christian faith in plain language, taking theology off the library shelf and putting it into the hands of ordinary believers. It remains one of the most accessible introductions to Reformed theology you will find.
Abortion
R.C. Sproul
Writing as a pastor-theologian and trained philosopher, R.C. Sproul takes a calm and reasoned look at one of the most emotionally charged issues of our day, weighing it in light of biblical teaching, civil law, and natural law. He considers the arguments on both sides and calls for a renewed respect for the lives of the unborn.
Knowing God Bible Study
J. I. Packer, Dale Larsen, and Sandy Larsen
Released for the fiftieth anniversary of J.I. Packer’s classic Knowing God, this five-session study from InterVarsity Press works through passages such as Isaiah 40, Psalm 107, John 14, Hebrews 12, and Romans 8 to explore God’s character and works.

Christian deals for October 17:
Bright Hope for Tomorrow
Chris Davis
Pastor Chris Davis believes that many Christians have quietly set aside the doctrine of Christ’s return because end-times debates made it feel confusing or contentious. He draws it back to the center, showing how a living expectation of Jesus’ appearing can strengthen discipleship and steady believers through affliction.
The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down
R. Albert Mohler Jr.
Albert Mohler walks phrase by phrase through the Lord’s Prayer and argues that these familiar words are far more radical than we assume—a declaration that God alone reigns. Along the way he shows how praying this prayer reshapes what we believe about God, the gospel, and our place in his kingdom.
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In
Louis Zamperini and David Rensin
Completed just days before his death at ninety-seven, this is Louis Zamperini’s own collection of life lessons drawn from an Olympic career, forty-seven days adrift at sea, years in Japanese prison camps, and the Christian conversion that freed him from bitterness. It is a brief, warm companion to the story told in Unbroken.
The Story of Christianity: Volume 2
Justo L. González
The second volume of González’s widely used survey carries the story of the church from the Protestant Reformation to the present day. It is a readable, classroom-tested introduction to five centuries of movements, controversies, and expansion across the globe.
42 Faith
Ed Henry
Journalist Ed Henry tells the part of the Jackie Robinson story that the movie left out—the Christian faith that sustained him as he broke baseball’s color barrier. Drawing on rediscovered sermons, family interviews, and an unpublished memoir, he also shows how a pastor’s counsel shaped Branch Rickey’s decision to sign him.
The Expulsive Power of a New Affection
Thomas Chalmers
Thomas Chalmers’ most famous sermon makes a simple but searching point: the heart cannot be emptied of its love for the world merely by exposing the world’s emptiness. Only a greater affection—love for God himself—can drive the old one out. This is an inexpensive edition of a short Christian classic.
The Gospel in Ezekiel
Thomas Guthrie
Rather than surveying the whole prophecy, the great Scottish preacher Thomas Guthrie works slowly through Ezekiel 36, finding there the full shape of the gospel—sin, judgment, mercy, cleansing, and a new heart. First published in 1856, it sold tens of thousands of copies in his lifetime.
Till He Come
Charles H. Spurgeon
This collection gathers Spurgeon’s addresses at the Lord’s Table, some delivered to thousands at the Metropolitan Tabernacle and others to small gatherings of believers at Mentone. Whatever the text, each one circles back to Christ’s atoning sacrifice, which the bread and the cup set before us.
How to Live Well
William Perkins
William Perkins, often called the father of Puritanism, offers a short treatise on what it means to live by faith and to trust the Lord in every circumstance. It is a brief, practical introduction to one of the most influential Puritan writers.
General market deals for October 17:
Blitzed
Norman Ohler
Norman Ohler’s widely discussed history argues that drugs were woven deep into the Third Reich, from the methamphetamine issued to soldiers during the 1940 invasion of France to the cocktail of injections Hitler received from his personal physician. Some historians dispute how much weight he gives them, but the research into Theo Morell’s records is fascinating.
Mother of God
Paul Rosolie
At eighteen, Paul Rosolie went alone into the Madre de Dios region of Peru, one of the most biodiverse places on earth. His memoir mixes genuine adventure—anacondas, crocodiles, an orphaned anteater—with a passionate case for protecting a rainforest threatened by loggers, oil companies, and gold miners.
Founding Mothers
Cokie Roberts
Cokie Roberts turns to the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the American founders—Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, and many others. Drawing on their letters and journals, she shows how much these women contributed to the Revolution and the nation that followed.
Down the Great Unknown
Edward Dolnick
In 1869 the one-armed Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell led ten men in four wooden boats down the Colorado River into the Grand Canyon, the last blank space on the map of the United States. Edward Dolnick uses the crew’s diaries to tell a gripping story of discovery, hunger, and loss; only six men came out.

Love Like You Mean It
Bob Lepine
The longtime co-host of FamilyLife Today takes the familiar love chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 and applies each of its attributes to marriage.

Facing Snarls and Scowls
Brian Croft and James B. Carroll
Written for pastors in church revitalization, this short book is about continuing to preach when a congregation is hostile, apathetic, or simply worn down.

A Basket of Fragments
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Compiled after M’Cheyne’s death from notes his congregation took of his messages, this collection preserves short, Christ-centered expositions from a preacher who died before his thirtieth birthday. They display his confidence in Scripture, his longing to see people converted, and his constant sense of eternity.
God – Is He Out There?
Mez McConnell
Part of the First Steps series produced with 9Marks, this brief book is written for people who are new to Christianity. McConnell asks whether God exists, what he is like, and why the answer matters, and he does it in plain language meant for readers with little church background.

Outposts
Simon Winchester
In the mid-1980s Winchester set out to visit every remaining dependency of the British Empire, from Tristan da Cunha to Pitcairn to Gibraltar. The result is a witty, melancholy travelogue through the scattered relics of a vanished empire, reissued with a new introduction and added material.

Christian deals for October 15:
Person of Interest
J. Warner Wallace
Cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace applies his investigative methods to the question of Jesus, examining the historical evidence without relying on the New Testament.

Who Am I and What Am I Doing with My Life?
Justin N. Poythress

Be True to Yourself
Matt Fuller
British pastor Matt Fuller questions the popular message that happiness comes from being true to yourself and asks which version of yourself you should be true to.

Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory
Jerry L. Walls
Philosopher Jerry Walls distills his academic trilogy on the afterlife into an accessible book for general readers, asking whether heaven would be boring, how a loving God could send anyone to hell, and whether purgatory fits with salvation by grace. He defends the doctrine of eternal hell and, more controversially, argues for a version of purgatory he believes is compatible with Protestant theology.
General market deals for October 15:
The Mission
Tim Weiner
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Tim Weiner picks up where Legacy of Ashes left off, tracing the CIA from its post–Cold War decline through 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and today’s contests with Russia and China.

Ordinary Men
Christopher R. Browning

Rachel Slade
In October 2015 the container ship El Faro sailed into Hurricane Joaquin and sank with all 33 crew aboard, the worst American shipping disaster in decades.

Made in America
