But there are a lot of Christian books out there. Which ones should I read? Good Christian books need to be both biblical, and readable. Both faithful to God's Word in the Bible, and helpful to the reader. These are the sort of books which will help us grow as Christians, and as Christian medics.
But there are lots of good Christian books – so where do I start? This is why at conference this year we launched '12-12' – twelve good Christian books to get you started. The idea is that these twelve books cover a broad range of topics especially relevant to students and medics, as a basis from which to develop a hunger for reading more. They're certainly not the only good books on these topics (there are lots of other books we'd recommend, on our online reading list 2 for example); but they are all accessible, and cheap. They will all be available through the CMF website, at bargain prices for students: all of them are about half-price, or less.
Twelve students have reviewed the twelve books, and we're planning to print two reviews in each issue of Nucleus over the next couple of years. We reckon even the busiest student could read one or two each term, and maybe a couple over the summer. This way, you could get through the whole lot in two years – ready then to dig even deeper as you expand your library! And it won't be wearisome, it'll be a joy and a blessing!
