Discipleship Resources

These books are rooted in biblical truth that genuinely cultivate deep spiritual growth. We want to point you to resources that will help you effectively exalt Jesus in spirit and truth, use your spiritual gifts to edify His body, and grow in compassion to share the gospel with those without the hope of Christ. 

What you read is crucial; what you choose not to read is also extremely important. Don't poison the well.
