In John 17, Jesus asks his Father to sanctify--make holy his disciples by his truth. Truth is the primary means God uses to make believers more like Jesus. The main source of truth is the Scriptures and in fact, the profit of any other resources must be measured by how much it increases our love for God and his word. Christian Publishing is a big business and not all publishers are created equal.

Each of these books are of exceptional quality and guaranteed to build up anyone who reads them. Feel free to stop by the library to check out any of the books featured here.
