 | Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt Manipulators: A Biblical Response to Ronald J. Sider by David Chilton
Buy used from: $6.75 Too many people think that the Bible is only concerned with our salvation and has nothing to say about critical issues like economics. This book is a very important work on Christian economics and a devastating critique of "Christian" socialism. This is still a worthwhile read even if you've never read Sider; it is still just as devastating to modern-day guilt-manipulators like Jim Wallis.

 | Charismatic Chaos by John MacArthur
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.00 Although it is much maligned by charismatics, there have only been a few half-hearted attempts to refute it and the book goes largely unanswered to this day.
