We have been working hard on the Reclaiming the Mind Bookstore and have produced new categories that I think will be helpful.

Among the categories, we have “The Essential Christian Library.” This is a list of suggested basic study books that we think every Christian should have. They range from Bible commentaries and backgrounds to theological books. We tried to make it economical.

Remember, all purchases support our ministry, so buy two of everything

We also have the categories broken down. When you click on “Systematic Theology” you will find subcategories of every discipline. As well, we have reserved a special section for all our Converse with Scholars guests so that you can find their books easily.
