The meaning of the cross speaks to our deepest human need and its purpose unveils the heart of what we as Christians cling to. In his classic work, The Cross of Christ, the late John Stott unpacks what the cross achieved, how it meets contemporary cultural assumptions and questions, and its practical significance for Christian living.

Logos Bible Software has been working with me to put together a list of some of my most recommended books and resources. You can now find the page with those resources here.
On this page, I include some of my top recommended books, both introductory, popular level works as well as more advanced and academic. In addition, I include a section on recommended resources for pastors for building their theological libraries. And this list is like a living document, meaning more books will probably get added in the future.
(A small number of some of my favorite books, unfortunately, weren’t able to be included, because they aren’t [yet] available in Logos–but hopefully in the future! In the meantime, if you prefer, here you can access my complete list of book recommendations, including categories and explanations.
Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel by Russell Moore (Book Recommendation)
In Onward, Russell Moore provides a manifesto for Christian cultural engagement in a post-Christian society. As Christians, Moore calls us to embrace the “strangeness” of Christianity and to see an opportunity for Christian mission precisely in a society where a Christian veneer of nominalism is now out of style.
According to Plan by Graeme Goldsworthy (Book Recommendation)
How does the whole Bible, in all its various parts, fit together to tell the story of God’s redemptive plan accomplished by Christ? This month’s book recommendation is According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible by Graeme Goldsworthy.
Evangelism and the Sovereignty to God by J.I. Packer (Book Recommendation)
If God is going to save whomever he’s chosen, is evangelism pointless? This month’s book recommendation is Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer. In this brief work, Packer offers an examination of the topic of evangelism as clarified, grounded, and even fueled by belief in God’s absolute sovereignty.
