I like Top 10 Lists. Here’s one I just discovered:
10 Books Every Christian Should Read (other than the Bible), by Tim Challies of www.Challies.com.
Head over to this link to hear Tim take you through the list and why he picked these particular books.

NOTE: when to go to the YouTube video, right below the video you’ll also find a list of the 10 books and a link to each one on Amazon.
I was glad to see that his #1 choice is Knowing God by J.I. Packer. This is the only Christian book (other than the Bible) I’ve read 3 times.
