Following Jesus: What Does A Relationship with Christ Really Look Like
Dave Roberts

"Following Jesus" takes a proactive look at what serving Jesus means today. It helps readers clarify how they can be gracious, wise, joyous, creative, biblical and balanced in everyday life. It brings them back again and again to the life of Christ, from perspectives they may never have considered. It is a non-religious discipleship manual for the spiritually hungry.

Mere Christianity
C.S. Lewis

Arguably the 20th century's most influential Christian writer, C.S. Lewis sought to explain and defend the beliefs that nearly all Christians at all times hold in common. His simple yet deeply profound classic, originally delivered as a series of radio broadcasts, is a book to be thoroughly digested by believers and generously shared with skeptics.

The Jesus Creed
Scot McKnight

Many of us have memorized the Great Commandment. However, tragically, quite few of us have learned how to live by it. In "The Jesus Creed" Scot McKnight explores how Jesus connected the ancient Jewish commandments to "love the Lord your God with all our heart, soul and strength" and to "love your neighbor as yourself" in order to create a creed that transforms his disciples' lives.

The Life You Always Wanted
John Ortberg

In "The Life You've Always Wanted", John Ortberg explores how practicing simple spiritual disciplines can train us to live a transformed life. Since this book provides a more contemporary perspective on the classic spiritual disciplines it is a wonderful companion to Foster's Celebration of Discipline . Through clear biblical teaching, real-life application and an uncanny sense of humor, John Ortberg will guide you towards The Life You've Always Wanted.

The Purpose Driven Life
Rick Warren

In this remarkable best-seller Rick Warren will help you understand God's purpose and plan for your life so that you can learn to live the life for which you were created. The book is divided into forty short chapters so that it can either be read as a personal devotional or studied in a small group setting.

Traveling Mercies
Ann Lamott

From the bestselling author of "Operating Instructions" and "Bird by Bird" comes a chornicle of faith and spirituality that is at once tough, personal, affectionate, wise and very funny. Anne Lamott claims the best two paryers she knows are "Help me, help me, help me" and "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Despite-or because of-her irreverence and wit, faith is a natural subject for Lamott. With an exuberant mix of passion, insight, and humor, in "Traveling Mercies" she takes us on a journey through her often troubled past to illuminate her devout but quirky walk of faith. In a narrative spiced with stories and scripture, with diatribes, laughter, and tears, Lamott tells how, against all odds, she came to believe in God and then, even more miraculously, in herself. Whether writing about her family or her dreadlocks, sick children or old friends, the most religious women of her church or the men she's dated, she shows us the myriad of ways her faith sustains and guides her, shining light on the darkest part of ordinary life and exposing surprising pockets of meaning and hope.
