For the Journey

A vital part of the Christian life is surrounding oneself with resources that unpack Scripture and magnify Jesus. We recommend the following resources to you in the hopes that they will foster genuine, gospel-driven spirituality.

February Book Highlight

 Counterfeit Gods, by Timothy Keller

In light of our journey through Genesis 3 this month, we're highlighting a book that deals with sin's subtle way of taking good things and making them gods, thus negating their goodness. "The human heart takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them."  Unbelief in God's plan and God's word has been the issue since that fateful day in the garden. Counterfeit Gods points to Scripture to help root out idols, turns to the Cross to find forgiveness and points to the gospel as the power to find ultimate freedom from them. Purchase here.

February Album Highlight

Help My Unbelief, by Red Mountain Music

Red Mountain's focus is arranging new music for all-but-forgotten hymn texts. This album focuses on texts from Gadsby's Hymns, compiled in the mid-1800's. The lyrics of the songs carry themes of doubt and longing, showing that the Christian life is a complexity of emotions - valleys and mountaintops, light and darkness. The songs give hope, as Jesus always meets us with patience and grace. Purchase here.
