The Scripture tells us to love the Lord our God with our heart, soul, and mind (Mt. 22.37) and one of the best ways to love the Lord with our mind is to read books that nourish the soul and increase our knowledge and understanding of the one true God.   The following book recommendations, helpfully cataloged under different levels of reading ability, was provided in part by Monergism Books.
