THE JESUS I NEVER KNEW, 100 BOOKS TO READ IN A LIFETIME

My favorite author is Philip Yancey.  He began his career as Editor of Campus Life Magazine, and has connected with more than 15 million readers since his first book was published in 1977. His books have been translated into 35 languages. Philip explores the most basic questions and deepest mysteries of Christian faith and invites readers to join him on his journeys. His books have earned recognition including two Christian Book of the Year awards and 13 Gold Medallion awards.  Here is the book on top of my pile right now....
