"Our intense need to understand will always be a powerful stumbling block to our attempts to reach God in simple love [...] and must always be overcome.

Lamp Post is proud to present some of the finest Christian literary works of all time-writings that have affected the Church, touched the hearts of its leaders, and helped shape Christianity for two thousand years; timeless books that have endured and are deserving to be included among the Christian Classics.
