15. The Goldsworthy Trilogy (Gospel & Kingdom; Gospel & Witness; Gospel & Revelation)
If there the gospel is the main thing in the Christian life (and it is), then it ought to occupy our greatest amount of time and energy in study. The gospel is at the center of God’s heart and ought to be the center of our lives, and to make that happen, it must be read, believed, sung, rehearsed, applied, and shared with others in such a way it becomes as normal as breathing. My hope is that directing you to these books will assist you in becoming gospel-saturated followers of Christ!
