My Most Recommended Book of the Year (So Far)

In my mind, I categorize books by shapes and colors. Systematic theologies are square, black and white books. They are ridged and inflexible. Practical or pastoral books are round and green. They are fluid and add more immediate growth. Fictional books are many shapes and sizes; their colors are similarly just as changing. 

But there are also books that are in a category of their own - fictional or non. These books, while they may be strictly categorized by genre, make up their own genre. These books are razor sharp and are crimson in color. They are gospel-centered and change us every time we turn a page. They are fearless, with little regard for the superficial desires of their audience. And they are by nature ultimately rooted in the service of their Savior King. 

There is one book I have read this year that fits into this category. It is Love Walked Among Us by Paul Miller. I highly recommend this book; and am just a few steps away from pastorally burdening your conscience with guilt and shame should you not read it within the next month! (Note: that's a joke)
