If you seriously want to deepen your understanding of the king who rules the Earth.  Here are some things you might like reading.

Far as the Curse is found does an excellent job of explaining what redemption really is.  We often tend to think that redemption means that one day human beings will be taken up into heaven and then everything will be better.  The redemption Jesus brings is much more beautiful than just taking us out of here.

Francis Schaeffer founded an organization known as “The Shelter” (or L’Abri in French) which helps people find answers to their questions.  We all have questions.  We question if this Jesus thing could be true, we question why a lot of our lives look the way they do and sometimes we are so hurt we don’t know what to ask.

Cornelius Plantinga is one of my favorite writers.  This guy has a long track record of Academic excellence and has written alot on how redemption should affect our lives.  One of my favorite books is Engaging God’s World.  Where he takes us on a trip to discover what God is doing in the world  how we can actually participate in it.

Creation Regained will shatter everything you thought you knew about heaven.  You won’t find clouds and harps in his book.  You will find a vision of the beauty and splendor of that heaven will be.  The title says it best.  Everything that was lost in the fall will be regained once the king finishes his work.

For every Christian with a political interest, this is the book for you.  A little meaty and requires a bit of understanding of how governments actually work within society.  But if you think being a Christians requires a party affiliation, you really need to read this splendid treatment of what a Christians true responsibility is in his society.
