25 Books Every Christian Should Read is a guide to Christianity’s spiritual essentials. Selected by a distinguished editorial board including Richard J. Foster, Dallas Willard, Richard Rohr, Phyllis Tickle, John Wilson and many others, these books are the ones that generations of Christians have found to be both informative and life-changing. Selections range from classics of the early Church such as St. Athanasius’s On the Incarnation and St. Augustine’s Confessions to more modern works such as C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity and Thomas Merton’s The Seven Storey Mountain. The list includes apologetics, memoirs and even fiction and poetry. For each book selected, you’ll find background and context, a discussion of its place in the tradition, guidance for reading, discussion questions, and a lengthy excerpt.
