BOOKLIST
“Of making many books there is no end . . .” wrote the wise man. When we survey the titles of simply those books produced by Christadelphian authors, the truth of the above statement is demonstrated. Without question, for those who seek to know and please God, whatever their age, there is only one library of books to be read and studied—The Bible. Exposure to this will alert us to Divine standards, and His view of human responses to Him. It will motivate us to live faithfully as we “wait for His Son from heaven . . . which delivered us from the wrath to come”.
However, many have found help in the writings of those who have tried to explain faithfully what Scripture is saying, or to provide background information on its teaching. The list of books below is a selection of those available from various sources. There are, of course, useful books which are out of print. These may be available, from time to time, in The Testimony “Books Wanted & For Sale”. Most of the titles are by Christadelphian authors. The titles included are those which the editors of The Testimony have found helpful.

A final thought . . . . .
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep His commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment,
with every secret thing,
whether it be good,
or whether it be evil”
Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
