Millions of books compete for our attention, but only a fraction of them are worth reading. So where do we start when trying to grow our library? Today’s question is about books, and it comes from a listener named Roger. “Hello, Pastor John! In your Solid Joys devotional ‘Ignorance Leads to Ungodliness,’ you exhorted us to ‘Read! Read! Read! But beware of wasting your time on theological foam and suds. Read rich doctrinal books about “the one who called you to his glory and excellence.”’ “So could you please make some recommendations of the books you are referring to? How do I make the distinction between theological suds and theological substance as I build my personal library?” Episode 1244: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-i-choose-good-books-and-grow-my-library Related Resources: “Can Christians Benefit from Books by Nonbelievers?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Low61bINp0 “God Wrote a Book — That Changes All Other Books” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfZXjmc4rv8 “Popular Author Stumbles — What Should We Do With His Books?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJSEvHFFocU Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
