There is a vast list of great Christian literature and music available. Christian books can help us to find out about Jesus and the Christian faith. Reading can improve our understanding of the Bible and how to live for Jesus. On the other hand, some of the books you find in Christian book stores can be misleading and unhelpful, even if they are very popular.
This list covers just a few of the books (authors' name in italics) and some great music resources that we have found helpful and we would love to share with you. Most are available through Moore College (http://www.moorebooks.com.au/)
