Pastor's Book List

PASTOR'S BOOK LIST

There is an education of the mind

Which all require and parents only start.

But there is training of a nobler kind

And that's the education of the heart.

(Edgar Guest)

The education of the heart is a lifelong process that requires both knowledge of God and obedience to His truth. Followers of Jesus Christ should be students of God's Word. That should go without saying. The following books and resources are offered as works of great value that promote the education of the heart. As George Sweeting said, "To keep the faith we must know the faith."
