Recommended by Ken Zuk. “A small book, quick read, that reminds me of some very central Gospel truths…a book that I actually re-read once a year.

Godly Servants: Discipleship and Spiritual Formation for Missionaries by David Teague, reviewed by Ken Guenther

With a book by Skye Jethani. Recommended by Nathan Garrett. “A transformative book that I would recommend for everyone to read.  He does an amazing job at describing the various ways people relate to God and points to the best way – living with God, not for Him, under Him, over Him or from Him. A nice side effect is being more aware of the countless times in the Bible that God relates to His people by saying He is with them.”

Faith Comes by Hearing > David Benzel writes, “You can download Bibles in various languages and translations to listen to. You have to sign up to download something (but I've never gotten any mail from them) and they limit how many versions you can download at one time. There is probably about 20 various English options to download (dramatized, etc.). They used to have the NIV but don't anymore. But they do have the ESV.”
