I think you should read Max Lucado’s “3:16, Numbers of Hope”

How about The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer or The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee? Both of those, aside from the Bible of course, have been the most inspirational to me in my walk. God bless.

Wow…your blog is awesome…I was addicted to porn for a long time and I’m now in recovery. Your blog has been a great inspiration for me. There’s a book out there called Out of the Depths of Sexual Sin by Steve Gallagher…it’s awesome…he has many books on the subject of sexual sin and they have been a great help for me…also check out his website at http://www.purelifeministries.org
Thanks for the blog and may God bless you always. Keep up the great work.

Gee Donny, all these people warning you against reading a book…what are they afraid of?

I have to add another vote for anything by CS Lewis. Mere Christianity is good, but Screwtape Letters is better (fiction, but speaks to real life in a very unique way). John Piper has some good stuff.

Of course the Bible is best. Modern authors aren’t always right, so it’s best to study the book that is. Plus, you want non-fiction.

The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne

God on Earth by Douglas Banister

God on Paper by Bryan Loritts

Fiction--Most books by Ted Dekker. Start with the Circle Trilogy: Black, Red, and White. Then Showdown, House, and Saint.

Hi, Donny!

Congratulations on your new life!

I read Mere Christianity and Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis a few days ago. I thought they were good. Lewis has written some other books on Christianity too. You could check them out.
How about The Confessions by St. Augustine?

(I’m now reading “The Republic and other dialogues” by Plato. Seriously. At first, I thought they would be boring, but now I find them interesting. They aren’t Christian, since Socrates and Plato lived in the BCs, but when you read them, you get a feeling that they were somehow anticipating a more complete version of their philosophy, i.e., Christianity)

Prayers for you!

Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott.

One of the best books out there.

Don't waste your time with Joel Osteen. His inflated ego fills his pages with more shit than I care to filter through again. It's a humanistic outlook with a nice spiritual mask.
