Have You Read These Books?- Part II

Continuing with the list of my recommended readings, here are the next 10.  The list has been  randomly arranged, not necessarily in order of my preferance. Well, here we go...


11. Books by A.W. Tozer:   Any of the books written by A.W. Tozer, the '20th century prophet' (as Tozer was called) is worth reading.  His extraordinary command of English language, the clarity of his thoughts and the profound spiritual depth in his writings were remarkable in all his books.  Any Christian serious about spiritual growth and maturity should read Tozer's books.  Some of the titles among his books are:
    -The Knowledge of the Holy
    -The Pursuit of God
    -Born After Midnight
    -The Root of the Righteous
    -I Talk Back To The Devil
    - When He Is Come
    -Tragedy In The Church: The Missing Gifts
    -Whatever Happened To Worship?
    -The Attributes of God
    -That Incredible Christian
    -Man: The Dwelling Place Of God
    -Paths to Power
    -How To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit


  and many others.



12. The Normal Christian Life:  Written by Watchman Nee.
This great Christian classic unfolds the theme of Christ our Life. Watchman Nee takes the reader through principles taught in the book of Romans. The focus of the book is Jesus Christ and the believer's life in Him. Nee reveals the secret of spiritual strength and vitality that should be the normal experience of every Christian. His fresh spiritual insights on the cross and resurrection of Christ have proven a blessing to many. This book is a must read for every Christian who is serious about living a victorious and God-honouring life. Other books by the same author, such as Sit, Walk, Stand;  Love Not The World;  Changed Into His Likeness;  The Spiritual Man; etc are all Christian classics  worth reading for all Christians.  Most of these books are published recently by Christian Literature Crusade, a world-wide body of inter-denominational publishers. Their address in Autralia is:

13. Philip Yancey's books:  Philip Yancey is one of my favourite authors.  He has the talent not only of  writing books with attention-grabbing titles, but also bringing out Scripturally-based, fresh insights into many complicated issues in life such as pain and suffering. 
Some  of his well-known, award-winning  titles are   Disappoinment With God;  Finding God In Unexpected Places; Where Is God When it Hurts? ;  What's So Amazing About Grace?  Many of Philip Yancey's books are published by Zondervan.
