Christian Books by James Barton

Many people who believe in Jesus Christ desire to deepen their relationship with Him and understand how His death saves them from their sins. However, the challenges of this life, lingering past sins, and the vast number of churches can make navigating Christianity difficult.

To assist in this journey, the Christian Compass book serves as an invaluable Bible Reading Companion, guiding you through the teachings of the Bible while clarifying confusing issues. It answers essential questions, helping you advance your faith with confidence in the eternal hope of the Gospel.

There are few things one can do to build a strong and meaningful relationship with the Lord more effectively than by engaging with God’s word, the Bible. Jesus declared, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” He likened the scriptures to spiritual nourishment that we need in order to grow strong and healthy in spirit.

The Bible Reading Companion is designed to assist you in your journey through the Bible. It includes summaries for every book and chapter, making your exploration much easier.

Within The Bible Reading Companion, you'll find a built-in daily Bible reading planner that is synchronized with the planners available on the “Bible Reading” page of this website and the daily reading planner from the free “Bible Companion” app (which is also featured on that page). By using these powerful tools, you can establish a daily routine focused on the word of God, helping you to build a solid foundation of faith directly rooted in divine guidance. For those interested in further growth, this aligns well with the principles discussed in the Christian Compass book and the Christian Discipleship book.

Faith in Jesus Christ is essential to salvation, yet faith by itself is not sufficient to secure it. Jesus declared, “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). In the journey of Christian Discipleship, often captured in a Christian Compass book, believers can find guidance to nurture and strengthen their faith. Too many neglect this vital aspect, but true discipleship requires a steadfast commitment to Jesus as Lord, Master, Teacher, and Savior. Regardless of the present state of your faith, a Bible Reading Companion can serve as a guide through the scriptural teachings that shape your eternal destiny. With deeper understanding and renewed devotion, you will gain confidence in your faith and assurance of its everlasting reward. Anticipated release: late 2027.
