Let me know what you think of this list and of these books when you get a chance to explore.
I was a little disheartened when I told a group at my church about Prodigal God and offered to loan it to anyone who wanted to read it. No one took me up on the offer. Maybe they were waiting for me to give it away?
I tend to read what is given to me or recommended to me by others. If you end up writing your own "Top Ten," put a link to it as a comment below. I'd love to hear what moves you.
Thanks for taking a look!
