I'm looking for a book recommendation. I've been training a young man to take over my job at the Law firm and I want to give him a gift when I leave next week. He's a very nice, polite, thoughtful guy. He's interested in mental health/social work long term. He had a tough upbringing with a difficult father and a lot of what he's now doing seems to emerge out of a desire to "raise himself up" so to speak. He grew up Jehovah's Witness but rejected that at a young age and was baptized at a Protestant church. He sees himself as a Christian but I don't know that there is very much content to his belief. He doesn't really see any difference between Catholic and Protestant (his fiancée is Catholic) and seems to think that all religions are legitimate paths to God. He and his girlfriend are living together as well and don’t attend any church. Since he would call himself a believer I'm looking for something that would address him as such but that is also very basic and foundational. I was thinking J.I. Packer's "Knowing God". What do y'all think?
