Presenting ...
... a weekly letter of encouragement.
October 11, 1993
Good Morning!
If you are like me, I am always looking for good books to read
that are life changing. Each year, Christianity
Today comes out with a list of books polled from their readership.
The question they asked: "What book (other than the
Bible) has had the most significant impact on your Christian life?"
Following are the readers' choices:
1. MERE CHRISTIANITY, by C. S. Lewis
2. KNOWING GOD, by J. I. Packer
3. CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE, by Richard Foster
4. MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, by Oswald Chambers
5. PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, by John Bunyan
6. INSTITUTES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, by John Calvin
7. DISAPPOINTMENT WITH GOD, by Philip Yancey
7. THE GOD WHO IS THERE, by Francis Schaeffer
7. GRACE AWAKENING, by Charles Swindoll
7. LOVING GOD, by Charles Colson
7. THE PURSUIT OF GOD, by A. W. Tozer
7. THIS PRESENT DARKNESS, by Frank Peretti
CT then asked their readers: "What is your favorite
novel of all time?" Answers: "Pilgrim's
Progress, by Paul Bunyan; "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy",
by J. R. R. Tolkien; "The Brothers Karamazov",
by Feodor Dostoyevsky; "This Present Darkness", by
Frank Peretti; "In His Steps", by
Charles Sheldon; "The Chronicles of Narnia: by C.
S. Lewis; "Crime and Punishment", by Feodor Dostoyevsky;
"Ben Hur", by Lew Wallace; "Perelandra",
by C. S. Lewis; "Piercing the Darkness", by
Frank Peretti; "Prophet", by Frank Peretti; "Till
We Have Faces", by C. S. Lewis.
As someone has so well stated, "A good mind is a terrible
thing to waste." So let's grow our minds along with
our hearts!
Have a great week!
