Robert (ratkinson2) | 6 comments Looking hard for book recommendations for books of 100 pages or less. I am looking for books that are theological in nature. I found some free books on John Piper's site. However, thought I'd see if y'all have any recommendations.

Nathan Houchens | 8 comments RC Sproul has a bunch of books in the Crucial Questions series that are probably all under 100 pages and are all free for Kindle.


message 3: by Jacob (new)

Jacob (jacobyoung) Bonhoeffer's smaller works. His "Life Together" goes just beyond 100, but worth it!

Puritan Paperbacks or the like.

Kristin | 8 comments All the Crucial Questions books are good.

I may be biased being employed with Ligonier, but many of those made my list in 2015.

message 11: by James (new)

James | 3 comments Gospel Centered Teaching by Trevin Wax. Fabulous, short, and it also has the word "gospel" in the title!

Rommy | 1 comments I read Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce by John Piper on January 1st, it has less than 100 pages and it was truly inspirational and challenging.


message 15: by Tina (new)

Tina I did a google search and found the pdf online for free for Piper's book on Wilberforce. Will read it for my book at under 100 pages for the reading challenge. Thanks for sharing!

Desiring God actually has the pdf (& sometimes mobi & epub) free on their site. http://www.desiringgod.org/books There are some other bios in another series that are pretty short on there too.

Thanks, Deon. I didn't realize that most of the books/booklets listed there are free in at least the PDF format.

K B (kbcook) | 182 comments I recently read Sovereignty and Authority in the Context of the American Republic: a confessional Lutheran assessment, by Rt. Rev. James D. Heiser with a page number of a whopping 44 pages. It was so much more than a mere 44 pages in content.
