Please note that we are assuming the Christian is already grounded in the fundamentals of the faith and understands the basic doctrines necessary to be a mature believer; thus, we have listed only a few books dealing with the personal nature of the Christian faith.
- America’s Providential History* by Mark Beliles and Stephen McDowell

*To begin your study, either read America’ Providential History or go through the Monumental Study course (the Monumental Study has both video and reading material; America’ Providential History (APH) is reading only). Since some of the content is similar in these two books, don’t do these back-to-back but wait awhile between them. You can also use APH, A Documentary Sourcebook and APH Teacher’s Guide for a more in-depth study with APH. These books, as well as all the books on the list by McDowell, are available from our store at providencefoundation.com
After reading APH or Monumental, read The Ten Commandments and Modern Society and do the study, God’s Blueprint for Life, Liberty, and Property: A Bible Study on the Ten Commandments. You can then read through the other books in order to 10. After this you can read the books numbered 11-25 in whatever order you prefer.
For those who prefer being taught the material, see our Biblical Worldview University Courses; some are available online and more are available as hard copies. (see providencefoundation.com)
** This is a biography of the important Biblical reformer William Tyndale. Two other biographies follow. Reading good biographies of significant people in history is a great way to develop a Biblical worldview. I highly recommend regularly reading them. I have listed more of them in the Top 50 Recommended Books and many more in the booklet, Loving God with All Our Minds. In Loving God with All Our Minds, I give many other Biblical worldview resources in various categories.
