Our Pastor's Personal Library
The Reverend Dr. David H. McElrath's Recommendations
Anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing Pastor David deliver a sermon or lead Evening Bible study knows that he is very well read by the vast number of anecdotes remembered from past reading that he interjects into every lesson. Listed below, for readers with time and insatiable thirst for knowledge and Truth, are titles currently on the shelves of Pastor David's personal library. Each entry includes a link to the author's online profile and to the book location at Amazon.com. Warning—keeping pace with Pastor David's literature habit requires Mach 1 speed reading!
For those who prefer to reserve or transfer the titles to a library for pick up, we offer links to two local library systems:
