Book Recommendations

[Blake]

Hey guys! I'm resolving to read at least ten books this coming year, because I didn't read a single book this year and that seems wrong to me somehow. Here's an idea of some things I'd like to read:

1) Old school, theology rich books on our faith -- gritty and deep.

2) Books on cultivating a deeper life of Christian virtue, such as: how and why to fast, how and why to pray. Anything to prime and encourage these things.

3) Apologetics books, and good reading on how to defend your faith. I hear CS Lewis does a good job on this, but I've not picked up any of his books.

4) I want to know what some of your favorite faith-oriented books are!

Okay, C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, his greatest classic, I keep rereading it, never stop learning from it.
Frances Schaeffer, The Mark of a Christian, and Escape from Reason, both very heavy from a man considered one of the great 20th century Christian thinkers.
And "How to live like a king's kid" by Harold Hill.
You won't forget it nor stop talking about it.

Gonna look those up on Amazon right now! Thanks Rollo!

I'll second Mere Christianity, and mention The Screwtape Letters, also. By the same author.
