I have been helped by a number of writers along the way, and I'd like to recommend some of them to you. (Click on a title to read my comments about each writer/book)

These are the books which have significantly influenced me over the years. I consider them among the best books on the Christian life ever written:

The Release of the Spirit  by Watchman Nee
Sit, Walk, Stand  by Watchman Nee

The Divine Romance  by Gene Edwards
Climb the Highest Mountain  by Gene Edwards
Beyond Personality  (Book IV in Mere Christianity) by C.S. Lewis

I also would recommend these titles which have helped a number of believers (on an individual level) with their identity in Christ:

Lifetime Guarantee  by Bill Gillham
Classic Christianity  by Bob George
