Lewis, and I don't mean Narnia. In fact, I have gotten to where I'm almost bothered when people act like Narnia is the only thing he's written worth reading (silly, I know). Try out Mere Christianity or The Great Divorce to see Lewis's real genius. Excellent choices! I remember when some of us (like AK) recommended Schaeffer to you...glad you see you're hooked! I just finished Genesis in Space & Time too. It was good, but not one of my Schaeffer favorites. My favorites...yeah, that's hard because I'm ALWAYS reading something, but I don't care for fiction: The God Who Is There - Francis Schaeffer He Is There And He Is Not Silent - Schaeffer Escape From Reason - Schaeffer A Christian Manifesto - Schaeffer How Should We Then Live? - Schaeffer Okay, yeah...most anything by Schaeffer Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2 - Steve Stockman Love Your God With All Your Mind - JP Moreland Total Truth - Nancy Pearcey Heaven Is a Place on Earth - Michael Wittmer And I'm currently reading "Fit Bodies Fat Minds" by Os Guinness and "The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind" by Mark Noll...both very good.

ITs about a new American ciwil war. Wich is my dream since i hate America, i hope i havent offended any one? A little, actually... I'm not usually sensitive, but wishing war and death on America seems kinda harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been here in a long time (I tend to come and go on message boards). Well after you and AK recommended Schaeffer, I ordered the bookset, and then didn't read it for quite awhile. Now I've decided it's about time I read through them, Schaeffer really does know his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "personally" because he's a favourite of two of my Sisters-in-Law as well, and we frequently debate (in fun, of course) which is his best.
