Recommended Resources

The resources listed below are intended to aid in understanding a wide variety of topics, mostly doctrinal, but also practical application and advice on leadership, marriage, how to study the Bible, and others. The inclusion of a resource on this list does not imply that Abram’s 318 endorses everything in that resource nor everything (or anything!) else from the same source. We don't require that everyone (or anyone) agree with the views expressed in these resources. They are recommendations only.
​
This list is continually evolving and growing. If there is some resource that you believe would be helpful and aligns with Abram's 318's beliefs and missions, please suggest it through the contact page.
