“Feed My Sheep” by @rodneyshaw was a standout read in 2025. I highly recommend it.

Yes; it’s a cop-out. But the categories are so diverse (theology, fiction, fantasy, autobiography, biography), it’s difficult to do justice to all by picking only one.
Stories and testimonies can inspire, but only the Word of God has the authority to transform lives. Preaching therefore must be theological. Every sermon should advance the audience’s understanding of the Bible. Inspiration is needed, but only the Word of God generates faith.
The Word of God is a hammer that crushes (Jeremiah 23:29). It is a fire that consumes (Jeremiah 23:29). It is a sword that cuts (Hebrews 4:12). It is a light that shines (Psalm 119:105).
4. Establish doctrine on clear statements and repetitive themes in Scripture. Doctrine should be preached from clear passages of Scripture not from obscure texts or from elaborate and cryptic schemes.
