We're just wrapping up the "Things to Fight For" series that we've been in the last few weeks. (I encourage you to go online to www.brookside.net and listen to the sermons. Go to our messages link and find the sermons preached May 21-July 02, 2017.)

Each week, we've looked closely at the Bible to see what it says about the following topics:

  • Fight for a Thriving Marriage - Ephesians 5:21-33
  • Fight for Vibrant Faith - Colossians 1:28-29
  • Fight for the Next Generation - Psalm 78:1-8
  • Fight for Your Identity - 1 Peter 2:9-10
  • Father's Day (special speaker Myron Pierce) - Matthew 3:14-17
  • Fight for Effective Influence - Esther 4:12-16
  • You Have to Fight to Fight - Galatians 6:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:58

To help Brooksiders get and stay "in the fight" in these areas, each week we've also been recommending books that will drill down more deeply into each of the topics. These book recommendations are a great way to multiply an ethos of equipping in the life of the church.

I figured it'd be worthwhile to collect ALL of the book recommendations across the entire series, and put them in one place. Check out what follows for the books we recommended each week during this "Things to Fight For" series:
