So, I’ve been thinking about how to pull off the Seminary Stories series, and I’ve decided to start this way. One of the things that I struggled with the most when I was started feeling the need to dig deeper into what I believed and why was just not knowing where to begin. What books should I read? What podcasts should I listen to? There’s no shortage of books, and let’s face it, the meatiest ones are seldom the ones getting full-page spreads in the CBD catalog. It would have really helped to have someone suggesting books that could feed my ravenous desire to learn.

So I thought it would be great to compile lists of people’s One Favorite Book on a wide variety of theological topics, but let’s just start with a general book about Christianity. Anything. What’s your One Book? The one you wish everyone would read?

Oh, and the Bible TOTALLY doesn’t count for these purposes, because every Christian knows they should read the Bible, right? NOT HELPFUL!

So, what’s the One Book you think every Christian should read, and why? Tell me a little bit about it in the comments, and I’ll compile them into a handy-dandy list for people who are hungry to learn. Thanks!
