| Top 25 Books of ALL TIME!!!
Ok, folks, I've been away for a while-- it was deliberate, as this place is really addicting!!!
Anyway, we're just about to open up our bookstore at our church, and, while it is fairly comprehensive, there are lots of "baby Christians" at our church, so I doubt we'll be plugging "the heavy stuff" right off the bat. Having said that, we want CORE, staple items to be the most prominently featured-- divines or contemporary-- whatever kicked open some of the barn doors to your faith, greatly increased your understanding of Scripture, and brought heretofore unseen personal intimacy and love for Jesus Christ...
Or, to ask another way, if you were stranded on a desert island, and could only have 25 books, besides the Bible, what would they be?
In other words, what would you consider to be the most important, influential, and 'breakthrough' books that you have read that you would consider absolutely essential for your Christian library?
Try to remember your first five years (or so) as a Christian, and look back at what you might recommend that floored you at the time. Please, try to limit the list to 25 items!!!!!
DISCLAIMER 1: Dr. Matt suggested that I search the board, and while I found some great stuff that comes close to answering this question, I couldn't quite find this answer. Please don't flame me too bad if I overlooked it!!!
DISCLAIMER 2: I also am acutely aware that this question is almost unfairly broad-- one might ask, "Top 25 books on what topic?" Please just bear with me, and try to come up with a suitable list.
Thanks in advance...
In His Service,
Alex
