New and Notable Christian Books for October 2026: A Roundup of Recent Titles

The author offers a month-end roundup of new Christian books from October, arranged in a new format and including each publisher’s editorial description. The post highlights a handful of titles that stood out.

The top pick is a commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith, with contributions from Sinclair Ferguson, Chad Van Dixhoorn, and Kevin DeYoung. The author, a Baptist who respects but does not hold to the Confession, calls it a reference work that pastors and serious readers will want. Dane Ortlund’s *Finally Home* considers heaven, drawing on Scripture and on writers including Thomas Goodwin, Jonathan Edwards, and C. S. Lewis. Jeremy Treat’s *Everyday Discipleship* addresses the sacred-secular divide and argues that following Jesus reaches into ordinary areas such as meals, work, rest, and technology. It includes a discussion guide for groups.

Other titles include a Banner of Truth devotional offering a short reading on each of the 150 psalms, and the first three SoulCare Groups workbooks from One Measure Ministries, which are twelve-week group studies on anxiety, grief, and sexual integrity. Kevin DeYoung’s *Church History for Everyone* traces the church from AD 70 to 1415 through twenty lives, and the author suggests it for family reading or small groups. The author also notes the completion of Reformation Heritage Books’ reissue of Spurgeon’s sermons across 13 final volumes. Gerald Hiestand’s *Justification and the Churches* compares Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox approaches to justification, and a final title on technology and AI, grounded in the doctrine of vocation, is mentioned briefly.
