Five Protestant Books to Read Before Becoming Catholic/Orthodox (all under 200 pages)

In my time on YouTube, I've seen a lot of Protestants become Catholic or Orthodox. Along those journeys, one of the most common features is the prominence of books. People read the finest theologians from Catholic or Orthodox traditions -- as they should -- and find great wisdom there. However, they often then compare the greats from these traditions with Protestants of much smaller stature. In this video, I want to help remedy that by suggesting five great Protestant books to read while you're on the journey of discerning the true church. Bonus, they're all under 200 pages.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
