Book of the Quarter

“Christian books don’t just furnish your mind; they also shape your soul, offering hope, wisdom, and encouragement for life’s journey.”

We invite you to join our GBC family as we read solidly biblical and spiritually edifying books that engage both the mind and heart… all so that we can become more like Christ. The Pastoral Staff will be selecting a great Christian book for us to read each quarter. We encourage you to cultivate a culture of reading for your Christian life.

God Is the Gospel

by John Piper

This book is a plea that God himself, as revealed most clearly and fully in Jesus’s death and resurrection, be seen and enjoyed as the final and greatest gift of the gospel.

All God’s good gifts are loving to the degree that they lead us to God himself. This is the love of God: doing everything necessary, most painfully in the death of his Son, to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying—namely, himself.

The Discipline of Grace

by Jerry Bridges

Grace is every bit as important for growing as a Christian as it is for becoming a Christian. “The pursuit of holiness,” writes Jerry Bridges, “must be anchored in the grace of God; otherwise it is doomed to failure.” Grace is at the heart of the gospel, and without a clear understanding of the gospel and grace we can easily slip into a performance-based lifestyle that bears little resemblance to what the gospel offers us.
