Books I Recommend

I'm asked now and then about what books I like, and why. So I'd like to keep a living document here of books that I have enjoyed. I will provide a brief snip about the topic and why I liked it, or any issues I saw with in it.

Of course first and foremost, the Bible. I prefer the Complete Jewish Bible and the Tree of Life Version, but I also use Interlinear regularly. In companionship I use versions like the HCSB, NIV, KJV, NKJV, ASB, NSAB and the list goes on.

So following, in alphabetical order of the Author:

This trilogy is written with around a Christocentric Theology.

A good book about the Hebreaic views around Soul Sleep and the Resurrection of the dead. My only issue is that Meyers is a believer that only the Torah Observant will go into heaven and I am not, he only touches on it in one chapter and it's easy to adapt in your mind.
