Top Ten Books According To…..Part 2
After the last post, I was interested to see if I could find any other top ten lists and remembered that Westminster Theological Seminary’s book store lists their faculty picks. So I’ve listed them here. As I find more top tens I’ll add them to this list and give you a heads up that I did.
