Description
As a pastor who teaches a flock of believers every week, I study the Bible and Bible commentaries daily and extensively. But I have also found it enriching and helpful to follow a rather eclectic reading path from a variety of authors on subjects ranging from politics, mental health, prophecy, the history of the Jewish people and Israel—to a fascinating look at the life of Jesus, written by a bestselling novelist who earned her fame writing vampire stories! I recommend these books because I have learned something valuable from them, even if I don’t always agree with every philosophy or viewpoint represented. Below is a “starter” list, which I hope to update regularly, with some of my commentary.
Of all the books in my library—commentaries, Bible dictionaries, Greek and Hebrew studies, lexicons, theology books, discipleship books...and more—I have never come across a book that effectively deals with the emotional aspect of discipleship and our spiritual lives until I read The Emotionally Healthy Church. I am convinced that true discipleship needs to integrate emotional and spiritual health. So much of the Bible is filled with emotion, starting with God’s passionate feelings toward His children. This book is a great starting point toward helping us live in a healthy and more Christ-like manner when it comes to dealing with our emotions.
Daniel Gruber opens his introduction to The Church and the Jews with this statement: “When it comes to the relationship of Jew and Gentile, the major thrust of all traditional church theology is separation.” I’ve always known that somewhere, at some point in history, the Jewish people and the Christian church began to view each other more as adversaries than people whose faith shared much in common. But I never understood how or why this happened until I read these books by Daniel Gruber. He gives a detailed picture of how church authorities wrested control of policy and doctrine, steering the church toward a more Gentile worldview. The more I study the Jewish roots of our faith, and learn about their culture and history as they relate to the Bible, the more amazed I am at how much the church is missing in terms of truly understanding our faith! Reading these books was like putting on a new pair of glasses that finally brought everything into focus.
