Christian Books Worth Reading for Everyone
After the Bible, there are a lot of books written that are worth being read by every Christ-follower that explore topics of the gospel, spiritual formation, theology, and doctrine. Maybe you are looking for something to read, or want to get a book for someone else. Here is a list worth checking out. While this isn’t the only list available, nor is it meant to be the most authoritative greatest-of-all-time list, it is a thorough list. The person who compiled the list includes 30 books with short descriptions, and he suggests reading them in the order listed. That’s up to you, but how many have you read? What will you read next?
