Any of ... Mere Christianity - CS Lewis The Great Divorce - CS Lewis The Screwtape Letters - CS Lewis My conversion to Christianity was largely due to 'Mere Christianity' :)

The Philokalia - A collection of texts written between the fourth and fifteenth centuries by spiritual masters of the Orthodox Christian tradition. And (for the fiftieth time!) The Lord of the Rings - I just got it on Kindle :)

Yes Mere Christianity by C S Lewis - This inspired me when I first read it (32 years ago) and it still does today. Chris.

I've got the Kindle 3 - and I LOVE it :)

"If this is a man" by Primo Levi

Is it The Song of the Magdalene?

I agree with all that has been said above. (Mere Christianity was the book that triggered my conversion to Christianity) One further book that I'd recommend is Yours, Jack. This is a collection of CS Lewis's letters on a huge range of Christian/moral subjects. It is absolutely superb. You...

All Christians should read the whole Bible (in my opinion). It's hard to read it from beginning to end though. This is largely because you can become bogged down in some quite turgid bits early on in the OT ('Numbers' springs to mind!) There are countless daily reading plans that you can buy...

I learned a long time ago that none of us have time to read any book twice. (I exclude the Bible from this rule!) Because of this I always give my books away once I've read them. I either give a book to a friend who might find it interesting or (more usually) to the British charity Oxfam...

I'm reading Orthodoxy by G K Chesterton. This is a fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone. Chris

I voted 'Others' because I feel sure that none of the listed books is really the best novel of the 20th century (LOTR is my favourite on the list BTW) But now I'm not sure which 'other' I would choose! Chris

How about Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. A fascinating read. Chris

Lord I pray that you give comfort to cancer sufferers and their loved ones. Help those afflicted cope with the pain and fear, and help those affected to feel your almighty presence and not to become disheartened. I ask this is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - Amen

Congratulations on getting the job :) PS: If the Queen wants my banknotes she's going to have to come 'round and get them from me!

I'm not sure about the link to the Narnia Chronicles. That series is a pretty straight-forward Christian allegory. But I think the Harry Potter books form a traditional Good v. Evil story and there is always room for more of those. I am pleased that my kids love the HP books and I have...

I read to my daughter (8yo) each night. My son (11) reads to himself!
