Default Re: Ministry book recommendations

Fraternal greetings. The greatest ailment in God's family is reading the Bible on your own. The tendency is to read many books or Christian literature but not read the Bible for yourself. The first thing I encourage you to do is read the entire Bible for yourself first. The more you read the Bible for yourself, the more you will be able to exercise and mature your spiritual discernment so you can test all Christian literature, taking the good and discarding the bad.

Regarding the Recovery Ministry, I can recommend the 14 Messages for New Believers and the Orthodoxy of the Church. In the case of the 14 Messages for New Believers, you must filter out the Asian culture evident in the messages and apply it to your own personal experience and your own filter of your local or national culture. Regarding the Orthodoxy of the Church, you should include the Recovery Ministry in the Laodicean section and not in Philadelphia, as they claim. I was able to get a lot of benefit from these two books, and you save time and research because it's also common for us to invest a lot of time in researching things that are secondary and not really important.

When we talk about basic truths for new believers and the orthodoxy of the church, which are very necessary truths to advance effectively in our Christian walk, we need to understand that these revelations belong to the Body of Christ and not to a particular ministry. So you can test them as you see fit, because all Christian content is for the family of God and not for a single ministry. So feel free to benefit from the Christian content of these books without committing to the recovery ministry.

You can continue reading the recovered version, but without the footnotes. I continue reading it because it's an excellent version (A useful brother named John Ingalls paid a price for translate it). I usually use three versions to read and compare in Spanish: Reina Valera 1960, Dios habla hoy 1994, and the recovered version. Bendiciones
