In light of a recent conference (I share here and here), I’ve been blogging a bit more about various issues on continuationist-charismatic theology: the belief that all gifts of God are still available today, just as they were for the early church we read about in the New Testament.
So I thought I would list 20 books that might be worth reading. They are not in any particular order of what I consider best. Rather, they are in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.
Some of them are commentary-like. Some of them are theologically driven. Some of them are more devotional. Some of them provide testimonies. And some of them are a conglomeration of these categories.
I hope they provide some good food for thought.
This is pretty similar to the books listed on our Resources page.

Bert –
I’m glad it can be of help.
Scott, I am currently reading a book I just bought a few days ago and am almost finished already. It’s called “His Will Is Always Healing,” by Joshua Greeson. It’s very thorough and, while I don’t know if I agree with every bit of it (would be unusual no matter who the author is), it seems sound to me. He covers a lot of ground, so I’d recommend checking it out if you get the opportunity.
Thanks
Hi Bert –
I haven’t heard of this book, but I’ll try and check it out on Amazon. I’m in the midst of an international move, so my time is more limited. 🙂 Blessings
