We end the year, today, and as I reflect on this past one I can’t help but think about the ways my perspective has changed since starting Bible college several years ago.

Do You Agree with Every Book You Read?
Is it okay to learn from a book if the author has beliefs we’re not sure are Biblical?
I often refer books to my friends even though I have yet to read a book where I fully agree with the author. There is nothing worse the someone condemning a book who has not actually read it, or is not familiar with what the author teaches. Unless the author or speaker makes a significant theological or doctrinal error in his teaching, I think we benefit from hearing what they have to say.
I can’t promise that they won’t need discernment as they read the books I suggest, but there are a few thoughts I try to keep in mind that I believe can help all of us test authors in a healthy way.
