Personal Discipleship Books: Four New Resources

While not all of these are new in terms of publishing date, all are new to the Knox library and are excellent resources for personal reflection and faith formation.

More than just self-help, feel-good books, these resources are written by trusted Christian authors and allow readers to explore an idea in an in-depth personal way, more than we generally can within a sermon or a home church meeting. One of the ways we grow in our faith is by learning from other Christians and these books are a good opportunity to do that.
