paperbackHoliness
A Biblical, Historical, and Systematic Theology
by Matt Ayars, Christopher T. Bounds, and Caleb T. Friedeman
Be holy because I am holy. Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

paperbackThe Myth of the Non-Christian
Engaging Atheists, Nominal Christians and the Spiritual But Not Religious
by Luke Cawley
There's no such thing as a non-Christian. Somebody might self-identify as spiritual but not religious. Or they might be a practicing Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim.
