Ten Books Every Christian Should Read

       I found this list today when I was listening to a message on line. The list is one that gives ideas on books that will feed our spiritual walk with God. Sometimes Authors that have been where we want to go can be some of our best friends to spend time with by reading their books. People used to have more time for visiting with family and friends, now we're so distracted with a busy schedule that this may be an option you want to consider? You can pick up one of these books and use it as a visit with a wiser more mature "in the faith" friend that you are able to visit with!  Many of these books are classics and should be available in your library~

The message is really good, and I thought each of us could get something important from it.
Focus On The Family

“Replacing Panic with God's Peace,” Patsy Clairmont

suggested that we can all grow in our faith through reading (or listening to) good Christian

books. This is important for all believers, but especially for new Christians who need a solid

foundation for their faith. The following list was created by senior staff members at Focus on the

Family. Of course, The Bible is number one!
