Dear Church!

We are rich! We have enormous resources for the spiritual growth of our church. Our brothers are working diligently to ensure that our book department continues to grow, develop, and bear good fruit.

We have purchased a great many books—practically enough to last us an entire year!

If I were to identify the main theme of most of these books, I would put it this way: they are books about the great God.

I am convinced that for our church to grow spiritually, we do not need to constantly focus on one particular topic. Above all, we need to know the great God deeply. As we come to know His character, His holiness, His sovereignty, and His greatness more fully, this will inevitably influence every other area of our Christian lives.

Are you experiencing difficulties in your family? You need a book about God. Are you a teenager searching for answers to important questions? You need a book about God. Are you expecting a child (just like my wife and I) and feeling anxious about the future? You need a book about the sovereign God, who, like a bird, shelters His young under His wings.

Each of us has our own struggles, worries, and questions. But how important it is to remember that our greatest comfort, hope, and strength are found in God!

Friends, I would like to suggest a little experiment.

First, pray that the Lord would reveal Himself to you through His Word. Then, for an entire month, spend just 20 minutes a day reading good theological literature.

For example:

Knowing God — J. I. Packer.
The Holiness of God — R. C. Sproul.
The Sovereignty of God — A. W. Pink.
The Knowledge of the Holy — A. W. Tozer.
Desiring God — John Piper.

I believe that this experiment will not leave your life unchanged! Such literature is like fuel for the soul, life-giving water for a parched heart. It is not simply about acquiring new knowledge, but about experiencing true spiritual nourishment.

But knowing God should not remain merely at the level of knowledge. The more deeply we know God, the more we desire to love Him, serve Him, and dedicate our lives to Him. We begin to develop the right motives, God-honoring goals, and a desire to be useful in His Kingdom.

That is precisely why we have purchased not only theological books but also practical literature that will help us apply biblical truths to our everyday lives and various areas of Christian ministry.

For example:

The Gospel in the City — Bakhmutsky. A book that will help us become better at evangelism, communicate the Gospel to those around us, and be more faithful in fulfilling the Great Commission.
The Birth of a Community — Treskin. A book that will help keep the fire burning in our hearts and remind us of the importance of planting new churches.
Thoughts for a Young Man — Ryle. It is as though a wise grandfather is speaking to his grandson, guiding him in how to keep himself pure and holy.
Earth, Rejoice Before Him — Alistair Begg. Reflections that will help us prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas.

In addition, we have purchased many books for our dear small group leaders, as well as plenty of other useful literature.

The Apostle John once wrote:

“Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full” (2 John 1:12).

I do not want simply to list all the books we have purchased and put together a large catalog. I want something more.

I want to meet with you face to face, recommend books, talk with you, listen to what is on your hearts, learn about your lives and the questions that concern you. And then I want to help you find exactly the kind of literature that will be beneficial for your spiritual growth.

Friends, I truly want our book department to be more than just a place where you can purchase good literature. I want it to be a genuine blessing to our entire church.

May these books help us know God more deeply, love Christ more passionately, grow in holiness, and become more faithful servants of the Lord!

With love,

The Book Department Team!

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked."
Psalm 91:1-8
