Recommended reading for young adults

Here is a list of books that I recommend to young adults:
  1.  The Pressure’s Off   by Larry Crab – a deeply personal and spiritual look at the how knowing Christ frees us from the old way of living to make life work.
  2. Twenty Someone by Craig Dunham and Doug Serven – a broad discussion of how to handle young adulthood from a Biblical and Gospel-driven perspective.
  3. Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper – a passionate plea to young adults to embrace a God-centered vision for your life.
  4.  Radical by David Platt – a challenge to American church mentality and invitation to live differently in light of the desperate needs of our world.
  5.  Strengths Finder by Tom Rath – a helpful tool to discover your personal and vocation strengths.
  6. The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren- a clear helpful explanation of the basics of faith in Christ and how that applies to our lives.
  7. Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller – Keller’s compelling message about idols of the heart and how the Gospel frees us from them.
