It seems that I get asked the question a lot about what are some good books to read in order to help one on their Christian walk.  Given the fact that there are so many books out there on a variety of topics that express a certain belief while using the Bible to aid in the support, I thought I would write down a quick list of a dozen or so books that will help you as you wrestle with the Scriptures and walk out your faith.

This list is in no way complete but is only a starting point as we learn and grow in our knowledge of God.  Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments below.

the list:
