But I got to thinking about my favorite books by Christian authors, and thought it would be great to hear about yours. I have been so blessed by John Bunyans, revised and updated classic, The Pilgrims Progress. How about you? What are some of your favorites?

They are really stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis The Pursuit of God A.W. Tozer The God Who is There Francis Schaeffer The last one I think is of great importance to Christians to today. If you have been at all struggling with the philosophy behind the new theology that is invading churches all over the country, this book will give you the tools to understand it better.

Bernard. It is a heavy book, but packed full of great information and truth about the history and evolution of doctrine in the christian faith. I also like almost any book written on the history of the pentecostal movement in America. Any one have any good recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Walk to Remember The Notebook.....ANything by Nicholas Sparks is great.... Wow, so many more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have not taken the time to read the left behind books, but I have listen to all 12 of the audio theater dramas. They are great.

Guest SiriusMuggle Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Why would many disagree on the the awesomeness of the Left Behind series? I know a great many people who were saved as a result of those books, many of whom were thought to be lost forever! That aside, I like most anything by Chuck Swindoll.

Lewis since I was a child reading the Chronicles of Narnia, and now I find his Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters definitely rank near the top of my favorites list. I've also enjoyed Francine River's "Lineage of Grace Series." These books are Unafraid (on Mary), Unshaken (Ruth), Unspoken (Bathsheba), Unveiled (Tamar), and Unashamed (Rahab). Basically, Rivers has taken the Biblical accounts of these women and (with the help of historical context) has gotten into their minds and shown a little more of the story. Wonderful books! I'd especially recommend them to women...Francine Rivers does tend to aim at us ladies as an audience Edited June 13, 2005 by Iryssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for sharing your favorites, brothers and sisters. This is great!!! And I can certainly understand those of you who have too many to mention or list. Love to ALL of you!
