The Book of the Month ministry, under the care of Evans Odihambo, is designed to place rich, gospel-centred resources into the hands of our church family and beyond. Each month we highlight a carefully chosen Christian book—whether biography, theology, or devotional writing—that deepens our understanding of Christ, strengthens our faith, and stirs us to live more faithfully for Him. Our prayer is that these books will not simply inform, but transform, as we read together and allow the truths of God’s Word, echoed in these works, to shape our lives.

Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die
by John Piper
The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was Jesus Christ crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to do with me? Finally, who sent him to his death? The answer to the last question is that God did. Jesus was God’s Son. The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to this answer.
The central issue of Jesus’s death is not the cause, but the meaning — God’s meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons in answer to this question: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

Adoniram Judson and the Missionary Call
by Erroll Hulse
Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) was the first missionary to sail abroad from America in the great mission awakening that developed in the early 19th century. Three principal purposes are designed in this presentation of Judson’s life and doctrine. First, there is inspiration for every reader, as Judson exemplifies Christian faith, love, self-discipline, enterprise, perseverance, and godliness. Second, Adoniram Judson set an example of total commitment to inspire missionaries in enduring the inevitable strains peculiar to their calling. Third, there is the reality of the unfinished task of reaching the yet unreached people groups of the world. May Judson’s example contribute to thrusting out many new labourers into the harvest fields.

All of Grace
by CH Spurgeon
The object of this book is the salvation of the reader. He who spoke and wrote it will be greatly disappointed if it does not lead many to the Lord Jesus. It is sent forth in childlike dependence upon the power of God the Holy Ghost, to use it in the conversion of millions, if so He pleases…Reader, do you mean business in reading these pages? If so, we are agreed at the outset; but nothing short of your finding Christ and heaven is the business aimed at here. Oh that we may seek this together! I do so by dedicating this little book with prayer. Will not you join me by looking up to God, and asking him to bless you while you read?
