Pastor Garrett’s favorites:  

• Gospel-Centered Identity & Living, Robert Thune & Will Walker, The Gospel-Centered Life:  

This book fleshes out the idea that the gospel message is not just what enables our conversion but is the foundation and motivation for our sanctification as well.   

• Sanctification, Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness:  

DeYoung shows why Christians should care about holiness and how to pursue it in a clear, convincing, and encouraging way.  

• Abiding and Prayer, Paul Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World:  

Miller helpfully leads us to see how we are prone to compartmentalize prayer into an activity and gently leads us to move it back to a central aspect of abiding in relationship with God the Father.   

• Knowing God, J.I. Packer, Knowing God: 

This classic work helps us know, behold, and worship the one true God! Walking through different aspects of God’s character, Packer leads us into God-centered living in a way that few authors do.    

• Men’s and Women’s Roles, Kevin DeYoung, Men and Women in the Church: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction:  

A short guide showing the basis for a complementarian viewpoint on the roles of men and women in the church and home. Written for local church members, this book focuses on the prescriptions, principles, and patterns about manhood and womanhood we find in Scripture.
