We are privileged to live in a time of great wealth when it comes to good Christian books. Here at Reformers Bookshop we see many of these books come through our store. This year we have selected our 5 favourite books released this year. If you are looking for summer reading - these are a great place to start!

Enjoying God by Tim Chester

This is our top book of 2018. If you haven't read this book - put it on your reading list now.

"Tim Chester has done the church a great service by giving us a book on this very topic. In Enjoying God, Tim beautifully presents a picture of what it looks like to enjoy God in everyday life. It is not primarily about enjoying God during the Sunday worship – it is about enjoying God during the Monday train ride or the Tuesday nappy change."

Enjoying God: Experience the power and love of God in everyday life

by Tim Chester

Caring for One Another by Ed Welch

 "The content makes the little effort that reading this book requires all the more worthwhile. The goal of the book is to help us have stronger, more intentional, richer relationships. With very simple concepts like ‘be humble’ and ‘move toward others’, there is no rocket science here. But the ideas are desperately needed in our individualistic world."

Caring for One Another: 8 Ways to Cultivate Meaningful Relationships

by Edward T Welch

The Gospel Comes With a House Key by Rosaria Butterfield

"I think many of us (if not all) yearn for a Christianity like the one Rosaria describes. The Gospel Comes with a House Key finishes with the question 'what if?' What if Christian's lived 'radically ordinary hospitable' lives where they genuinely cared for and loved their neighbours, opening their homes and hearts? Well, to some extent, this book answers that question.

So I encourage you, sneak across the front lawn, tread carefully past the petunias and take a peak inside the Butterfield's house. But be careful, you may be challenged, encouraged or even changed."

The Gospel Comes With a House Key

by Rosaria Butterfield

Devoted: Great Men and their Godly Moms by Tim Challies

"Let me tell you just a couple of things that I loved about this book. This first is that Tim Challies provides commentary at the end of each short biography as to how the story of a Godly mum should encourage you in your mothering. For example, as we see Augustine's mother wrestling in prayer for her son, Tim encourages mothers to wrestle in prayer for their children.

The second thing that I loved was that Tim also got a friend of his who is a mother to provide a "mother's reflection" for each biography. This provides another angle on how mums can seek to imitate these Godly mums of the past.

Both of these features combine to make Devoted both encouraging and challenging. It is a heartwarming call to Godliness in arguably the most important job anyone could be given - the job of raising, influencing, teaching and training an eternal soul."

Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms

Some Pastors or Teachers by Sinclair Ferguson

Some Pastors and Teachers is a volume for every minister’s study and indeed for the bookshelves and bedside tables of everyone who has a concern for the ministry of the gospel and the well-being of the church in the twenty-first century. In many ways, it reflects the biblical vision of what every minister is called to be: pastor, teacher, counsellor, and example—but also a man who is growing spiritually, both in understanding and in character, before the eyes of his congregation.
