The Singer: A Classic Retelling of Cosmic Conflict by Calvin Miller (IVP Books, 978-0-830-82285-0).

“It’s the story of Jesus in poetic form, and … one of the greatest creative pieces I have ever read.”

Killing Giants, Pulling Thorns by Charles R. Swindoll (Zondervan, 978-0-310-42040-8).

“It’s actually a coffee table book, not a thick study book Swindoll is known for. For me, Chuck is the model of really clear, engaging communication. He doesn’t sacrifice biblical loyalty and accuracy for great creativity.”

Peculiar Treasures: A Biblical Who’s Who by Frederick Buechner (HarperOne, 978-0-060-61141-5).

“This book is such fun writing. It basically includes one-page character sketches of favorite biblical characters. I couldn’t put it down. It wasn’t exactly a Bible study, and it was a tad irreverent. It made me think, Is it really OK to write like this? I loved it.”

The Message of Romans by John R.W. Stott (IVP Academic, 978-0-830-81246-2).

“This book from ‘The Bible Speaks Today’ series brought me to a deeper understanding of grace. Stott’s verse-by-verse explanation modeled biblical teaching for me. He gave a clear dissection of Scripture. Personally, this book helped me trust the grace of God.”
