The Bible Jesus Read by Philip Yancey
The Old Testament is God's biography, the story of his passionate encounters with people and also a prequel to the story of Jesus. This book explores the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings in an effort to know God better. Philip Yancey has a way of confronting our most cherished but misguided notions about faith. In The Bible Jesus Read, he challenges the perception that the New Testament is all that matters and the Old Testament isn’t worth taking the time to read and understand. ~ Zondervan

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

Radical Disciple by John Stott
In the book Stott gives eight recommendations to Christians to act in such a manner that is nonconformist to the world in which we find ourselves; but rather to be different, to be a witness to those around us in a way that is unique, a way that turns heads and makes one wonder “why?”, in the words of Stanley Hauerwas to be “peculiar people”. Although Stott only flushed out the “why” we are to act in a peculiar fashion very minimally in this small book, he still makes clear that Christians ought to act in a certain manner that is different from the depraved world around us, yet still to be able to “live, serve and witness to the world” (pg. 17). ~ Review by Daniel Seatvet
