Enjoy Your Prayer Life by Michael Reeves
Sadly most of us struggle to set aside time to pray. But, fear not, this is not another book that will pile on the guilt, simply saying pray better and more often. Instead, Michael Reeves shows us not only why prayer is so essential, but also how we can enjoy it too.

The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
The Great Divorce is a classic Christian allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven. An extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment, Lewis’s revolutionary idea in the The Great Divorce is that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis’ The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil.

Book Two of the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin
Institutes of the Christian Religion stands among one of the greatest works of Christian theology and Western literature. Completed in 1559, it was written to be an introduction to Christian doctrine and a defence of the Reformed faith.
In Book Two, Calvin focuses on the person and work of Jesus our Redeemer, as revealed in both the Old and the New Testaments.

When People are Big and God is Small by Edward T. Welch
Do you crave people's love and approval? Do you dread their rejection or mistreatment? Although we don't always realize it, many of our lives-and identities-are dangerously contorted around such longings and fears.
Biblical counsellor Edward Welch tackles this struggle head-on in a groundbreaking work that has been substantially updated and revised for this new edition. Discover a fear of the Lord that, in Christ, is filled with gratitude, love, and devotion-freeing you to need others less and love them more.
