Summary
Which books should every Christian bookstore remove immediately? Which ones should they make sure and stock up on? Author, blogger, and book reviewer Tim Challies joins the podcast today to give his opinion on the best 3 and worst 4 books every church book store should be aware of. We also talk about his new book, Seasons of Sorrow, about the tragic and sudden passing of his son, Nick and how Tim and his family have navigated that loss. Tim reflects on the goodness of God, the problem of suffering and evil, and whether or not his opinion on certain “bad books” has changed in light of his personal season of sorrow.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core claims |
| 0:13.7 | of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness |
| 0:19.5 | and truth and my goodness. |
| 0:21.5 | I just had the most deep, wonderful God-filled, I don't even know what to say. |
| 0:29.9 | Conversation with Tim Chalice. |
| 0:32.0 | So many of you know Tim Chalice from Chalice.com. |
| 0:35.1 | He reviews a lot of books. |
| 0:37.2 | He sort of operates in the discernment space, but not like discernment blogger space where |
| 0:42.2 | there's just heresy hunting and looking for everything to be wrong. |
| 0:45.6 | He's actually just such a trusted source. |

| 1:07.8 | Seasons of Sorrow, where he reflects on the full year from the time that it happened |
| 1:12.7 | until a year later and it's orchestrated in fall, winter, spring and summer. |
| 1:18.8 | And it's such a tremendous resource for Christians and for parents who have walked through |
| 1:23.0 | something similar and it's so encouraging and edifying, I just recommend that book to |
| 1:27.7 | everybody. |
| 1:28.7 | But it was really fun to have Tim on because not only did we go deep into that stuff, but |
| 1:33.6 | Tim also gave us his recommendations of three books that he would love to see every church |
| 1:39.7 | bookstore put in their resource catalog. |
