The Case For Christ -I have

Those books are simply amazing, they're the true story of an atheistic journalist's search for the truth, during which he became a Christian. It proves, conclusively, that Christ is who he said he was, that scientific evidence points to an intelligent designer of the universe and that all other theories fall short, and suchlike. Everybody should read those books!
Definately! I love those books as well, EXTREMELY good books!

I like 'Extreme God-Chasers' by Tommy Tenney, and I also like the Lee Strobel 'Case for Christ', 'Case for Faith', and 'Case for a Creator'... ^_^

I loved Lee Strobel's Books!
I love Josh Mcdowell and his books (especially after I met him in person!)

I also like Dannah Gresh's books. And the Bride wore white was an exceptional book on purity! Her book Secret Keeper was an awesome book on modesty too!

Wow, I forgot about this topic.


In any case: I'm finally reading My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers. It is one of the deepest books I've ever read. It is not for someone who's not serious about his faith. It's really amazing...

C.S. Lewis's "The Great Divorce."

Edit: How could I forget City of God? That's nearly inexcusable.

I totally agree with you. Lee Strobel is a phenomenal author. I've read The Case for Faith and The Case for Christ recently and I thought they were spectacular.

I really never have a favorite book. There's too many to chose from.
I really enjoyed Lee Stobels "The Case For Christ". Each year, there is always at least one book that I feel I must share, so it is given as a Christmas gift to many people. This was it for 2006.

Max Lucado (98.5%)
Brent and Deanna Higgins' "I Would Die For You" (written for BJ, their son.) (Since I haven't read it, it ain't out yet, 1.5%) Sad ha?


I just looked, and read (again). Well, I'm revised, don't worry.

All of Dee Henderson's books rock. If you haven't read them , DO! She's an awesome writter and interweaves lots of though Christian issues into her books.

I also like Max Lucado. My favorite is The Applause of Heaven. I had to read it for a class I took my freshmen year and it was one of the most enjoyable assignments I've had in my two and half years of college. I laughed my way through that book.
I like Odyssey. DBD was my favorite saga and I am friends with Eric Delko and prplrane_13. Marisol Delko Caine is my sister. I like Ponybox and listen to Linkin Park and Newsboys.

A. W. Tozer -- his The Pursuit of God is wonderful.

I also love anything C. S. Lewis...my favorite among his works would probably be The Four Loves. I read the final chapter about three times in a row... :D
