Books to Build Your Christian Library

A friend recently asked which books would I recommend for the top ten must-reads for Christians. Here are my picks, in no particular order:

  1. Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis
  2. Desiring God, John Piper
  3. The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer
  4. The Knowledge of the Holy, A. W. Tozer
  5. How To Read the Bible for All Its Worth, Gordon Fee
  6. Knowing God, J. I. Packer
  7. Putting Amazing Back into Grace, Michael Horton
  8. The Reason for God, Tim Keller
  9. Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem
  10. Expositor’s Bible Commentary, NT Set, editor, Frank Gaebelein

Am I leaving any out?

    Good call, Adam! That certainly is the main one. The question from my friend was for books to build a Christian library. Perhaps I shouldn’t assume that the library already has the Book of all Books!
