Books

Approaching the mass of Christian literature is intimidating. On the one hand, the majority of so-called Christian books aren't worth the paper they contain. On the other hand, some of the greatest theologians are very hard to read. Either way, I hear this question more than any other: "What are the top books?" Impossible. Different situations call for different books. The variables are endless. Nevertheless, we could at least move toward a working list.

So this is what I want us to do. Give me your top books in the following categories:

1 - Theology
2 - The Christian Life/Devotional Life
3 - Biography
4 - Worldview

Ha! Even these categories could be debated! Supply your own categories, and list your picks.
