There are mountains of books that are now available, covering all aspects of the creation/evolution debate. These range from fairly simple texts, to rather heavy going academic texts. There's something for everyone!
It would be hard to recommend a single text, that can cover all the bases. However, there are two books that I would recommend for the purposes of debate...
'Should Christians Embrace Evolution':
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/184474406X/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_5?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addFiveStar&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
The above book (Should Christians Embrace Evolution) should be read by every church leader, in my view. It is written as a repost to another book (Creation or Evolution, Do we have to Choose?), which should equally be read by all (link below). The links are to Reviews that have been posted on the Amazon website, including my own.
