On the Ballot

Seven books. Pick one.

George Müller: Delighted in God

Roger Steer

The life of a man who ran orphanages on prayer alone and never asked a soul but God for a dollar. A quiet argument that faith is a practice, not a feeling.

41 votes

Counterfeit Gods

Timothy Keller

Keller on the things a man builds his life around when God is not enough: money, sex, power, approval. He names the idol under the surface and what it costs.

37 votes

The Mortification of Sin

John Owen

Three hundred years on, still the hardest and most useful book on killing the sin that keeps trying to kill you. Slow going, and worth every page.

33 votes

Make It Home Before Dark

Crawford W. Loritts

Loritts on finishing well. What it takes to still be standing, and still be faithful, when the light starts to go.

28 votes

The Joy of Fearing God

Jerry Bridges

Bridges recovers a phrase we flinch at. The fear of the Lord is not dread. It is the start of wisdom and the root of a settled joy.

23 votes

Inside Out

Larry Crabb

Crabb on why managing your behavior is not the same as changing. Real change starts underneath, in the parts we would rather not look at.

18 votes

How Does Sanctification Work?

David Powlison

Powlison on how men actually grow. Not one formula, but the ordinary, unglamorous ways God works a man over time.
