I'm building a book list of short but informative and interesting books to give away to my congregation. There are plenty of longer tomes, but I'd like something short and sharp without being superficial. In a way this list represents my worldview because I only want to recommend books I'm confident in and I feel represent my worldview.
These are the topics I have books for so far ...
These are the topics I don't have books for ...
Books I've heard might be useful and may find their way onto the list ...
Are there any topics I've missed, books I should find a topic for, books that I should replace or books that need to be added?
