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.
