Top reads of 2012

January 3, 2013 by Jared Sparks Leave a Comment

Of the books that I read in 2012, here is a short list of those that I found the most helpful, beneficial, and God glorifying. 

The Transforming Power of the Gospel, by Jerry Bridges
     This was the best modern book that I have ever read on gospel powered sanctification. 
Gospel Deeps, by Jared Wilson
    As with all of Wilson’s writing, I worshiped Jesus through this whole book. 
Spiritual Depression:Its Causes and Cure, by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
   
   Martyn Lloyd-Jones beautifully address the gospel’s implications in even life’s greatest difficulties. 

Council from the Cross, Elyse Fitzpatrick
Great book on understanding the difference between so called “biblical counseling” (counseling and throwing a few bible verses in here and there) and true counseling from the cross. 

Joy Unspeakable, Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Even though some aspects of the baptism of the holy spirit being subsequent to conversion I would disagree with, this is by far the best book on the holy spirit I have ever come across. 
The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller
This book helps christians to see marriage through the lenses of the gospel, and the gospel through marriage.
