I'm trying to learn of good book ideas for my walk with God.
Coming from a philosophy/theology background, though, I tend to find most "Christian Living" books are a little "light." For instance, I recently bough a book called "Thirsting for God," but it was very light on substance, including general Christian tips and then moving onto another topic within a couple of pages.
Anyways, I don't quite want to read Kierkegaard all the time (love his stuff; particularly Works of Love and his various upbuilding discourses) - that wouldn't be good for my sanity! I'd love to find books that have really in-depth advice, and plenty of Scriptural relevance. I really want to deepen my walk with God and His Word, and find books that I can become engrossed in.
Hope that makes sense
BTW, read "Blue Like Jazz" and liked it, for the most part. Had some intriguing topics about community and a quote I especially liked: "Your problem is not that God is not fulfilling, it is that you are spoiled." I'd love to have a book that takes a deep look at similar topics to build up that strong walk with God. Thought that might help!
