How many of these have you read?

The Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals.

I’ve read, uh, one of them, and that’s “What’s so amazing about grace?” – and to be fair, it did shake me up a bit at the time, insofar as it prompted me to reassess the important parts of my beliefs and ultimately leave the church I was going to at the time.

Of the rest, I think there’s maybe one – Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis – that I actually regret having not read, although I feel I probably ought to read the Bonhoeffer, too, and I’ve got a feeling I’ve got at least one Corrie ten Boom book on my shelf, unread, somewhere. But other than that, I can’t say I feel my walk with God is any way impeded by not having read toss like “Left Behind” or some godawful poorly informed pseudo-science apologetics book.

    I particularly like the fact they haven’t mentioned the Bible at all. Cos, you know, that’s obviously not a book or anything.
