RECOMMENDED TEXTS

Pastor Collins is frequently asked which texts he recommends, based on his own studies. While he confers that no single text, other than the Holy Bible, is infallible, a person may desire additional resources to turn to when they need a little help, be it historical, contextual, or even insight into the original languages.

The list below is not comprehensive nor is it perfect in its content. North Christian Church makes no statements about such things, nor does it have any specific affiliation with any of the authors or publishers in the list.

This list is really just something to get the average student equipped for years of learning. It is not meant to supplant the spiritual gift of a pastor in the life of a believer.
