Which book would you choose?

[By Grace]

My mom has given me some money to spend on amazon to get some books for my birthday. I want to get one of these four, but can't decide. Which one would be your top choice?

Thanks,

Our Father Abraham, by Marvin Wilson - has sterling reviews and would seem to be a very god resource on it's topic!!!

The Mystery of Romans, by Mark Nanos & The Irony of Galations, by Mark Nanos - while both of these have great reviews - 5 stars all the way - the reviewers do state that it is difficult reading due to the author's style and techinque - I might hold off on these for alater date

The Letter Writer, by Tim Hegg - I have read this and find it very insightful!

I would suggest:
Our Father Abraham, by Marvin Wilson AND The Letter Writer, by Tim Hegg - save your money, buy used copies and get both! ;)

Tough choice...I am sure no matter which one you get, there is great gems of understanding to be spiritually gained in them, enjoy.

Thanks,
I've read 3 of the 4. To be honest I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the Irony of the Galations. I believe Nanos pretty much got it wrong. His work on Romans was far superior IMO.

Our Father Abraham really opened my eyes in alot of ways, I enjoyed the book thoroughly as well, and it's a much easier read than either of Nanos works, especially his work on Galations.

I have yet to read Hegg's book, and to be honest, I probably will not.

I suggest Our Father Abraham. :thumbsup:
