Subject: Books that have influenced you most? |
Bible Note: Greetings and Blessings dear Hank! Good to hear from you and see you back from your exile! I pray that you will find hospitality here once again and not become too frustrated, my friend.. :) Good to have you back! As far as books go, there are many that have influenced me: "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, "The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis, "Pilgrim's Progress" by Bunyan, St. Augustine's "Confessions", Dante's "Inferno", "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque, "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White, "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien, "First Battles" by Atkins, "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, anything by Oswald Chambers (especially his daily devotional), "Beowulf" by Homer, "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti, and of course, the GRAND CHAMPION, Book of books, is the BIBLE! |
