Recommended Readings List:

While the quick answer to what every Christian should have read is...THE BIBLE... there are a lot of good supplemental resources that God's people have produced as they have reflected on God and their own spiritual journeys. I'm going to add to this list and possibly create different categories, but let me start with a list of "twelve essentials."

  1. Pilgrim’s Progress – John Bunyan

  2. Mere Christianity – CS Lewis

  3. The Knowledge of the Holy – AW Tozer

  4. Knowing God – JI Packer

  5. Prodigal God – Tim Keller

  6. The Return of the Prodigal – Henri Nouwen

  7. Desiring God – John Piper

  8. Spirit of the Disciplines – Dallas Willard

  9. Confessions – Augustine (this can be a hard read!)

  10. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe – CS Lewis

  11. In the Grip of Grace – Max Lucado

  12. The Cost of Discipleship – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
