The Reason for God by Timothy Keller
In the Reason for God Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth. The Reason for God is an intelligent, intellectually rigorous examination of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of sceptism.

 

How to read the Bible for all it’s worth by Gordon Fee
The primary task of Bible study is to determine what the Scriptures meant at the time they were written and how that meaning applies to us today. This vital guide focuses on the historical contexts of the Bible and explains differences between the Old Testament narratives, the Epistles, Gospels, Parables, Psalms and more. It’s a practical approach to Bible study – one that makes good sense and is easy to understand.

 

Cafe Theology by Mike Lloyd 
If theology doesn’t stretch our minds, it probably won’t stretch our lives. In “Cafe Theology”, Mike invites us to grab a cappuccino and travel with him from Creation to New Creation, as he presents us with a rich and human view of life and of Life-Giver. Whether we’ve been on the Christian journey our whole life, we’re just starting out or we haven’t even bought a ticket, this extraordinary book is applicable to our ordinary lives.
