I don't want to say that this is another "series." Every once in a while I will be posting a short readable book for those of you who wish you could read more but it doesn't work for a number of reasons. These books will help in your Christian walk as they help you understand the Bible. More important, you should be able to finish one before you get bored of it. Here's the first one:
Title: What is a Healthy Church Member?
Category: Christian Living/Church Ministry
Author: Thabiti Anyabwile. I had never heard of Thabiti until I went to the Together for the Gospel conference in April of 2008. I have now had multiple opportunities to listen to him, read him, and hear other influential Christians talk about him. Honestly, one thing I love about him is that he is an African-American with sound biblical theology. He doesn’t fit any category of person you normally find advertised in Christianity but he is part of a growing movement.
Pages: 127 (including table of contents, preface, forward, and indexes). This is a short book. The page number doesn’t even do it justice because the size of the pages is so small.
Readability Rating: 4 out of 5. Thabiti seeks to build categories in our minds rather than work with preexisting categories. Rarely does he assume the reader having any knowledge on a topic he is writing about in the book. Nevertheless, you might find yourself reading one or two things over again just to make sure you get the thought. This is still a very readable book for anyone.
Why you should read it: This book will help fill in your understanding on several basics of the Christian life. Chances are, whether you are ignorant of most theology or a seminary student, you will learn a lot from this book.
Price: 12.99 or less.
