Shop Ligonier Ministries!

Readers, as part of our 2021 Christmas Gift Lists, we’re featuring favorite Christian publishers and booksellers. Amazon is a great option for many things, but shopping directly from Christian booksellers and publishers is a great way to support fellow Christians in an industry increasingly hostile to Christians. More of your dollars stay in their pockets, and you are showing that these businesses are important and needed! Shopping directly from the source may involve extra shipping costs, but most of the companies we’re featuring offer very competitive pricing (and, often, better sales and discounts).

Note: some of our Christmas Gift List posts contain affiliate links. Read our full disclosure.

What Is Ligonier Ministries?

Ligonier Ministries exists to proclaim, teach, and defend the holiness of God in all its fullness to as many people as possible. We support the church by providing trustworthy teaching to help Christians know what they believe, why they believe it, how to live it, and how to share it.

The above is directly from the Ligonier website, but we’ve been reviewing books they carry in their store for a long time. We appreciate their church history resources, robust theology, and desire to really teach the church.

Why Shop at Ligonier Ministries?

Shopping directly from Ligonier helps support their work and ministry. Bonus for you, though: most of the items in their store are marked 20% (or more) off from prices like you’ll find at Amazon and other big retailers. Currently, they are running a sale on many of their children’s books.

If you’re looking for meaty theological works for maturing young men and women, picture books that offer great teaching points, the Reformation study Bible, and more, head to Ligonier and check out their store.

Some especial favorites (notes in parentheses include links to our reviews):

• (NEW!!) Ligonier has been working on a brand new student edition of their popular Reformation study Bible (ESV translation). It’s available for pre-order now. We’ve got a review copy and can attest: if you like the regular Reformation study Bible, this student edition is a fantastic resource in the same vein. We’ll be reviewing it “officially” soon.
• Christian Biographies for Young Readers by Simonetta Carr (we’ve reviewed lots of these! See: John Newton, Iranaeus, Jonathan Edwards, Anselm, and more!)
• Works by Sinclair Ferguson, especially his devotionals and church history books (some of our favorites include: Love Came Down for Advent readings, The Dawn of Redeeming Grace for Advent readings, In the Year of Our Lord for church history).
• Historical fiction for middle grades by Douglas Bond (we’ve reviewed one of the Mr. Pipes books)
• Children’s books by authors such as R. C. Sproul, Susan Hunt, Stephen Nichols, and more (most of these authors have done picture books! See our reviews of Sammy and his Shepherd, Reformation ABCs, The Barber Who Wanted to Pray)

We’ve barely scratched the surface with this list.
