Other than the Bible, what book do you consider valuable in your spiritual growth?

I have thoroughly enjoyed these:

"What the Bible says about...child training" by J. Richard Fugate

"Sovereignty of God" by A.W. Pink (all of his really)

any book by R.C. Sproul

any book by C.S. Lewis

God bless,

Don

I enjoy A.W.Tozer(sp)
and Strongs for Concordance.

There are so many!

Ron Sider Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger
Richard Foster Freedom of Simplicity
John Stott The Cross of Christ
John V. Taylor The God-Between God

Are just a few that spring to mind that have actively affected the way I live my life.

Anthony

Any Smith Wigglesworth books (Every Increasing Faith).

Healing the Sick by TL Osborn

Christ the Healer by FF Bosworth

Books by Kenneth E Hagin.

Jesus Freaks by DC Talk and Voice of the Martyrs, reading about those who paid the ultimate price for Chris really convicts me not to whine and such about my "persecutions" aka getting made fun of, kinda like comparing my sandwich to a steak dinner. MMhhh, steak.

Naturally there can be no serious Bible Study without a Strong's exhaustive Concordance. Also as AA said Max Lucado books are very good, for inspiration.

Like LambsLove said, though, I could not live without my hymnals. I have several and some of the Hymns really minister to me. Right now, one of my favorites is: "Because He Lives"! Awesome"

But I must tell you, that for ME, personally, I could not live without my JB Phillips Translation of The New Testament. It does not replace any Bible I have but I love to read a text and then compare it in the JB Phillips. It is such an awesome and respected translation, NOT a paraphrase.

You can find it on line and add to your favorites as I have, if you are interested. You can find it at:

If you are not absolutely delighted, I will refund your money.

Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed.

Contemplative Prayer by Thomas Merton

These two books helped guide me during the rebellious adolesence of my faith.

God Bless,

Neal

Rediscovering Expository Preaching by John MacArthur Jr. and the Master's Seminary faculty.

The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter

Holiness and Practical Religion by JC Ryle

Any books by RC Sproul or JI Paker.

"The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee

"Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe" by Gary Kinnaman

"Sovereignty of God" by A.W. Pink (all of his really)

Yes Indeed!

Don't know if these were already mentioned, but these are excellent books:

"Knowing God" by J.I. Packer
"The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis
Any of John MacArthur's commentaries
"The Attributes of God" by A.W. Pink
"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
Any of Charles Spurgeons writings

I'll second Jesaiah's voete for JC Rowle's 'Holiness'. I also really enjoy AW Tozer. Met. Anthony Bloom's 'School for Prayer' is pretty inspiring, and I got a lot from Cardinal Suenens' 'A New Pentecost?' So, as you can see, I have pretty catholic (in the non-Roman sense!) tastes!

I am partial to CS Lewis and Frank Peretti.

"Even The Demons Believe" and "The Essential Piece" by Timothy Williams.
