Books by Carl Laney
Over the past 25 years it has been my privilege to write or contribute to more than a dozen
books on the subject of biblical studies and pastoral ministry. Some of the books have gone
out of print and can be found only in "Used Book" section of your bookstore. Others are still
available and can be found in Christian bookstores and on Amazon.com. I am currently
working on an introduction to the Bible which I have titled, "Essential Bible Knowledge."

These books are available through the Western Seminary' Carriage House Bookstore
(503-517-1851) or click on the book to go to
Amazon.com.
