I love to read! After so many moves and full-time RVing for eight years, I’ve been forced to pare down the books that I keep. So, the ones in my bookcase are old treasures and some newer ones. Old treasures include my Pollyanna collection, Heidi series, Lassie, Come Home, and Nellie’s Prairie. Newer treasures include many but not all of the Christmas in My Heart series, Joseph by Terri Fivash, and several titles by Tony Hillerman.
I much prefer stories over theological/inspirational books. But I recently picked up a book from the church foyer by Ty Gibson that has me riveted to the message presented therein. Titled The Sonship of Christ, it almost instantly opened my eyes to a topic that I had only recently begun to barely touch the surface of. I was just becoming keenly aware that the title of Son is only given to Jesus in the New Testament. But I hadn’t yet come to the point of doing a word study on “son” in the Old Testament. I was well aware that Luke refers to Adam as the son of God, but I hadn’t tied in the connection between Adam being the first son of God and Jesus later being identified as the Son of God. But Ty Gibson has done just that. I’m not finished with his book yet, but it is a fascinating read, and I highly recommend it to everyone. The book is available at the ABC.
