Words bound between the covers of a book have the power to change lives, inspire imaginations and form realities.
Despite the influx of New York Times Bestsellers, one Text reigns supreme—the God-breathed Scriptures found in the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation the character of God and His plan for redemption are put to paper to draw us closer to Him.
God’s Word is the ultimate guidebook to knowing Him, but there are several supplemental texts that can aid in deepening our relationship with the Father. To help you select your next read, we asked our worldwide staff to share some of their favorite books on knowing God.
