Christian Classics

I like to read and I like to collect good books. Here is a non-exhaustive list of Christian Classics that I have read. I think that it would be good for anyone to read these. They are in no particular order.

--Martyrs Mirror, Thieleman J. van Braght - This is a big history book that will make you appreciate our religious freedoms and make you question the depth of our own faith. A shorter alternative would be Fox's Book of Martyrs.
--In His Steps, Charles M. Sheldon - This is the original WWJD.
--My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers - A daily devotional.
--The Pursuit of God, A.W. Tozier
--A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, Phillip Keller
--The Pilgrims Progress, John Bunyon
--The Hiding Place, Corrie ten Boom
--Tortured for His Faith, Haralan Popov
--The Persecutor, Sergei Kourdakov - Like the Apostle Paul, the persecutor becomes converted.
--God's Smuggler, Brother Andrew
--Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis
--The Holy Bible KJV, Holy Spirit - The most important, of coarse!

This is a short list. Am I missing any good ones?

Books are the compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which other men have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life. ~Jesse Lee Bennett

The oldest books are still only just out to those who have not read them. ~Samuel Butler

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot
