Just finished reading:

The Old and New Tabernacle Compared by Eld. G.T. Haywood
Apostles, Prophets and Governments -Are They in the Church Today? by Gordon Lindsay

These are both small books (more like booklets) and neither one shows a copyright date.

Try God Calling, edited by A.J. Russel. The same publisher of My Utmost Fo His Highest if you're familiar.

It teaches you the things God is looking for in a believer

It's a classic christian book and a daily devotional

I think I have a book or two by Yancey. I'll check.

Several years back, I read Lee Strobel's The Case for Faith. This was before I fully left the AG (et al) faith, but was will into my "questioning" phase. I think Strobel did a somewhat better job than many at handling the usual questions (why is there suffering, a loving God wouldn't send people to hell, etc.), but still lacking. Why does God allow suffering, e.g.? Because God's way smarter than we are, and we can't possibly understand the big picture like He does. Mmmmkay. But it doesn't really answer the question! Essentially, it's an admission that we cannot answer it. Doesn't help me much, but in preaching-to-the-choir mode, it's probably fine. His books have a lot of fans among evangelicals, I'm sure.

I read 'Case for Christ' a year ago. Somebody recommended it to me. It was a good read. I haven't read any of his other books though.

Yancy is much less religious in his writing.
I don't believe God has created a place as tradition has defined as hell, nor will He send His creation there.
