Tozer\nDelaney’s picks:\nGod the Son Incarnate – Stephen Wellum\nPredestination: An Introduction – Andrew Naselli\nA Divine Cordial – Thomas Watson\nGentle and Lowly – Dane Ortlund\n…and some great debate-style theology reads\nListen in and be encouraged to read deeply, think clearly, and know God more.
