Authentic Christianity
|
 True Christianity Book 1 by John Arndt "A treatise on sincere repentance, true faith, the Holy walk of the true Christian, etc." This is a great work that will keep you on your knees before God. Very convicting! Very insightful! |
 The Gospel According to Jesus by John MacArthur This book led to my own salvation back in the 1980's. It deals with the Lordship controversy, and what constitutes real salvation. |
 Ashamed of the Gospel by John MacArthur. This is an excellent work that deals with the widespread problem and causes of easy-believism in American evangelicalism. |
 Wasted Faith by Jim Elliff A powerful little book which examines the risky willingness of many professing Christians who are gambling eternity on an emotional one-time experience, including that of a sinners prayer properly prayed. |
 Hard to Believe by John MacArthur. “This book is MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for non-confrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments." |
 Apostasy from the Gospel by Puritan John Owen. |
 The Religious Affectionsby Jonathan Edwards. Edward’s object in this book is to distinguish between true and false religion by showing the marks of a saving work of the Holy Spirit in men. Powerful little book – highly recommended! |

 Embrace the Cross by Chip Brogden was written specifically to call people to radical faith in Jesus and Christ-centered discipleship. Every chapter compels the reader to consider what being a real disciple of Jesus is all about. The goal of this book is to challenge, confront, convict, and convince both saints and sinners alike to embrace the Cross! |
 True Discipleship by William MacDonald. One of my favorites! This book has probably affected me more than any other book, with regard to what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ. |
 Radical by David Platt, challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple—then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a “successful” suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. |

Living Water: Powerful Teachings from Brother Yun, the suffering Christian known as The Heavenly Man |
 The Indwelling Life of Christ by Maj. W. Ian Thomas. So whom do you want dwelling in you? More of you? Or all of Christ? This small hardback volume contains fifty short chapters all focused on the indwelling presence of Christ in the believer as the only source of power for living the Christian life. "Only Christ is capable of living the Christian life, for the very obvious reason that He is the Christian life," writes Thomas. The subtitle says it "All of Him in All of Me."

 The Saving Life of Christ & The Mystery of Godliness by Major W. Ian Thomas combines in one volume The Saving Life of Christ, which examines the implications of Christ's life and death, and The Mystery of Godliness, an exploration of the fact that godliness is a mystery. "God did not die just to save us from the consequences of a bad past or past failure, but to 'clear the decks' for divine action in our lives." |
