Ken’s Question About Recommended Christian Books
Ken asks…
Christian books?
Do you have any recommendations for Christian books? I enjoyed “Mere Christianity” and “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis, and I will certainly look into his other works. I am currently reading “The Jesus I Never Knew” by Philip Yancey. Do you have any suggestions for other authors/books? I’m 15, and I am able to understand nearly all of what I have read so far, but please no books on profound theology or in-depth philosophy that I’m not going to be able to comprehend. I want to read books that are difficult and will challenge me, and are thought-provoking, but nothing that’s going to be way beyond my understanding.
Also, any suggestions of books about the Reformation or Martin Luther?
Thanks!

Hi Ken,
“Waking the Dead” by John Eldredge is really great. For books on Reformation or Lutheranism, I suggest you check out and click on these resources; elca.org and also augsburgfortress.org and Concordia Publishers are both specifically Lutheran publishers. You could start with Luther’s Small Confessions (it’s available at Augsburg for about a dollar).
