Here are three books that each offer some great insights. One focuses on Christian discipleship, and the other two on significant cultural issues that require a lens of wisdom to interpret.
Here’s my annual listing of the Top Ten books I read in 2023, with some honorable mentions and a few more page-turning details.
I bought this book to read, expecting to savor it. I put it down strangely disappointed. I'd encourage you to read his first book rather than this one.
Could the Declaration of Independence have been written without the influence of the Bible and Christianity? This excellent book provides a compelling and stunningly relevant argument (it was published in 1989) as to why our national malaise and embarrassment over our founding can be traced to a terrible misreading of the Declaration and an attempt to divorce it from Christianity's profound influence.

It's not a day to relished as a "day off." Rather, when you recover Sabbath in your life, you will find yourself re-learning how to enjoy and revel in Him.
