I knew there was something special there and I was hooked.<\/p>\n<p>Yet my life headed out in many different directions after that course, and I didn\u2019t keep up as much with those specific thinkers. Still, most of these extraordinary books have stuck with me after all these years, both in spirit and in print. When Dr. Thomas said, \u201cThe more you invest in these books, the more they will pay off,\u201d he was right.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m excited to recommend something that can help just about anyone make their way into some of the most important books to read in conjunction with the Bible. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0060841435\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=guidepostsonline&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0060841435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25 Books Every Christian Should Read: A Guide to the Essential Spiritual Classics<\/a><\/em> offers work that shapes our faith, including <em>Reflections of Divine Love (Showings) <\/em>by Julian of Norwich, <em>The Imitation of Christ<\/em> by Thomas \u00e1 Kempis, <em>Institutes of the Christian Religion<\/em> by John Calvin, <em>The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em> by John Bunyan, <em>Orthodoxy<\/em> by G.K. Chesterton and <em>Mere Christianity<\/em> by C.S. Lewis. Each chapter highlights one book, offering historical background, an explanation of the book\u2019s significance, and a brief reading to get you started.<\/p>\n<p>I would encourage you to get a copy, sample a few of these writings, go find one of them as a whole, and dig in.
