Christian Books I've Read and Appreciated


I have read a few books in my life and my library has grown and shrunk through moves and life changes. There are a handful of books that have survived the changes of life and remain in my library. These books continue to inform and challenge me years after reading them and I'm better for the reading of them. Take a look, read and form your own opinions.
