- Meister Eckhart- general collection of sermons (I have three collections with some overlap. They're all good)
- The Philokalia (I keep re-reading the first three volumes)
- Jaroslav Pelikan Christianity and Classical Culture
- Hans Boersma The Beatific Vision in Christian Tradition
- Ilaria Ramelli A Larger Hope? Volume I

Book by Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin and few other free grace writers have helped greatly. One, The Reign of The Servant Kings is a great book.

"The Saving Life of Christ" by Major Ian Thomas

Many, but here are a few:

C. S. Lewis: The Chronicles of Narnia
J. N. D. Kelly: Early Christian Doctrines
Rudolf Otto: The Idea of the Holy
Gustav Aulén: Christus Victor
Anthony de Mello: Sadhana - A Way to God
Esau McCaulley: Reading While Black

I note that the first is a collection of children's books, but they significantly shaped my faith. I continue to re-read the Narnia books every decade or so.

Gustav Aulén: Christus Victor

That could definitely be on my list. Great book.
