Welcome to the SC Ministries suggested reading page. You might be asking, what's this for? I already read my Bible. That's great, and honestly, if more folks would read the Word of God, there would be little need for outside resources. However, for a number of reasons, it is often times good practice to reinforce your time in the Word with well founded commentaries and the like. Although your local Christian bookstore has a multitude of resources, many don't fall within the scope of Christ's likeness and may even teach some false doctrine thus leading people away from the truth that Christ offers. You'll find some of these books listed focus more heavily on doctrine or apologetics, while others might offer encouragement through devotional type reading. Some of these books are pretty old, while some are current best sellers. Interestingly, the oldest and best seller are the same (The Bible)! I'm not much into fictional reading, so you won't find many, ie the Left Behind series and the such listed here. Sorry, it's just not my thing. My wife has had her influence on this list as well, as I tend to start a book, then start another, never to finish the first. She's a bit more diligent than I in her supplemental study and reading devotion. This list is in no particular order, and is not complete by any means; but I think it will give you a sound library to reinforce true Biblical counsel and doctrine. We thank you for your interest in our ministry, and it is our thoughtful prayer that each person who is reached through this ministry can have a closer, personal relationship with Christ.
