Books We Recommend: The Christian Life

Arguably the best of collection of readings from Lewis’ published works, gathered from his letters, essays, and less familiar writings, which probe issues related to God, love, life, and death.

C. S. Lewis, edited by Walter Hooper

One of the best all around books in helping Christians answer the twelve most common objections to the Christian faith, as well as to understand for themselves these important questions that people ask about Christianity.

Tom Morris explains Blaise Pascal's Pensees in an engaging and easy to read manner. Pascal is an example of a brilliant scientific mind who found it imminently reasonable to believe in God. A thought-provoking book for the person seeking understanding of the hard questions of life.

One of the truly significant twentieth-century books explaining orthodox, “mere” Christianity by Lewis, arguably the greatest defender of the Christian faith in the last century. Based on his BBC radio broadcasts during the Second World War. Do not overlook Kathleen Norris’ insightful Foreword.

In a sea of books that promise certainty, award-winning author Philip Yancey is not afraid to write about the mystery of belief, about letting risk and faith go hand in hand. This book is arguably Yancey’s best yet, as he wrestles with difficult questions and refuses to give pat answers. In our quest to know God, he offers this caveat: "The more personal conception of God we have, the more unnerving are the questions about Him."

Miller, author of the popular Blue Like Jazz, brings a fresh writing style as he addresses what the Christian faith is all about. While his tone is casual and somewhat eccentric, his theories—largely derived from experience rather than extensive study—are at times brilliant, and at other times questionable. Miller's main theme is that he believes Christianity is too often presented as a formula, rather that a relationship. Although Miller’s writing may prove disturbing to some evangelical Christians, he is still a powerful and engaging voice to those who are disenchanted with institutional Christianity.

In one of his most imaginative works, C. S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, he introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. My favorite book by Lewis!

"So what is it that really satisfies us?" On the first page of The Unknown God, author Alister McGrath confrints us with the central question of our lives and proceeds to answer it by taking the reader through a kind of primer of the Christian faith. An excellent volume for someone who would like to explore the Christian faith. The book is eloquently written and illustrated.
