I got the idea for this post from The Gospel Coalition. If you’re anything like me, you enjoy finding out what books, sermons, and articles have made a lasting impression on the lives of pastors and theologians.
So, for what it’s worth, here are some of the books, sermons, and articles that have made a lasting impression on me. By “lasting impression,” I mean that they have shaped my theology and philosophy of ministry, as well as encouraged my heart in the Lord.
My hope is that you will listen to and read some of these for yourself.
