Finding the Right Hills to Die On by D.A. Carson
"It’s hard to think of a kind of Christian who wouldn’t benefit from the wisdom in this book. If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated or timid in a conversation with a brother or sister in Christ when theological topics come up, read this very approac" Read more of this review »

" One of his most underrated books. Incredible. "
Making Sense of God by Timothy J. Keller
"Classic Keller! Amazing book on cultural apologetics. Aimed primarily at skeptics and those with questions about God and the gospel. But, I think all believers should read it for their edification and to become a more effective and winsome witness fo" Read more of this review »

Theo of Golden by Allen  Levi
"Instantly added to my list of favorite books. Read this book.

Quotes by Matt Smethurst  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A sweeping aerial view of the Bible’s topography focused on Christ therefore would look something like this: Old Testament Anticipation, Gospels Manifestation, Acts Proclamation, Epistles Explanation, Revelation Consummation. From beginning to end the Bible is an epic story about Jesus.”
Matt Smethurst, Tim Keller on the Christian Life: The Transforming Power of the Gospel

“You may be familiar with praying in response to God’s Word, but what does it mean to pray in anticipation of it? What does it look like to approach your Bible prayerfully? It means not rushing into your Bible reading, expecting the pages to magically microwave your cold heart.”
Matt Smethurst, Before You Open Your Bible: Nine Heart Postures For Approaching God's Word

“There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.”
Matt Smethurst, Before You Share Your Faith: Five Ways to Be Evangelism Ready
