When one thinks of great Christian literature, one rarely thinks of modern works. But a few recent works have helped readers deepen their faith just like more ancient texts. Here are some great *modern* books of Christianity🧵
What Do You Do with Your Hands When You Pray? Many of us, as young children, were told to bow our heads, close our eyes, and fold our hands during prayer. I find it ironic that the 2nd and 3rd items in this list are not found in the Bible. Most of the occurrences are the exact…
I know this list barely scratches the surface -- there's so many amazing works that I left out. What would you add? Let me know. And if you found value in this, please share it with your friends, so they can too:
Each year, readers spend billions on self-help books and courses. But why chase the latest fad self-help guru, when all of the wisdom of human history is at your fingertips? Instead, check out one of these classic books of wisdom: (thread) 🧵👇
When it comes to turning thirty years old, there is something of a biblical pattern. David “was thirty years old when he began to reign” (2 Sam. 5:4). Joseph “was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt” (Gen. 41:46). In today’s chapters in Bible…

There are a lot of misconceptions about feudalism. Rather than a contrived political system, feudalism was really just a series of loyalties. For near a millennia, civilization was held together by the oaths of honorable men...🧵
The closing verse of Job is this: “And Job died, an old man, and full of days.” But if had God given Job what he wanted, that never would have happened. Job had wanted to die. To die soon. To die immediately. He wondered, “Why did I not die at birth?” (3:11). He would have…
