Every Christian Should Read These Books.
Yes, Every Christian.
I have spent several years now burdened with the joyous call to equip the Saints. That is one of the many duties of an Overseer (Ephesians 4:12-13). Therefore in a more intentional effort I have compiled a list in no particular order and that is by no means exhaustive to provide resources for the renewing of one’s mind (Romans 12:2-3) and that address fundamental issues for the Christian as they journey on this Earth as a part of the The Body of Christ. I heartily commend these works to you.
None of these are to intended or able to accomplish what only a heart-changing encounter with God’s Holy Word captured in an essentially literal translation of the Holy Bible can, but they are merely supplements. One for each month.

Good list – I’ve only read a couple of these, have a few on my to-be-read list, and haven’t heard of some but will check them out. The main purpose of my site is to promote books I believe every Christian should read – fiction and history/biography as well as non-fiction – so this gives me some more books to look into and possibly add to my list.
Here are just a couple I would add to books every Christian should read:
The Holiness of God by R. C. Sproul, and The Attributes of God & The Sovereignty of God, both by A..W. Pink.
Agreed your suggestions are excellent, i have read them. The list is endless and we can never learn enough about the characteristics of God.
