Books to Read

There are so many excellent books available today on matters of faith and culture. But with such a vast selection of readings, where does one begin?!?!

In this section, we offer our answer to that question. Each subject link below contains a selection of books related to that subject – books that we believe are of particular value to those who want to learn more about Christianity or seek a deeper devotion to Christ, as well as those who are not sure what they believe but are searching for answers nonetheless.

NOTE: The views expressed in the books featured herein are not necessarily fully endorsed by New Life Presbyterian Church, but their contribution overall is at least significant enough to warrant attention.

This list is by no means exhaustive. Please check back from time to time, as we intend to update these selections on a regular basis.
