Christian Living (never knew reading about race relations in the Church could be so enjoyable; excellent writing)

Bibliology (small book explains basics on why Bible is reliable, not just some book of stories, irrelevant sayings, or disputed in authority)

Christian Growth/Discipleship - New 2008 edition, new material in this life-changing Christian classic on "Lordship"-"Easy Believism" controversy

Angelology (not the hot topic angels were in the '90s, but this is the best Angels book I've read; Showers is a scholar par excellence who communicates clearly)

Eschatology, General (title is right, it's comprehensive, see my review)

Israelology (superb and important scholarship suitable both for pastors and serious student; comprehensive historical and fresh look at Church's theology re: Israel/"replacement theology" with special attention to Romans 11)

Comparative Religion (gifted teacher and Christian ex-imam who studied/taught at Al-Azhar breaks the topic down; psst: his other book is Journey Into the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist, while not about Christianity offers superb foundation on Islamist movements)

Fiction, Classics (there's a reason this allegory's been popular for centuries--guides, encourages, warns along our journey)

Biographies-Memoirs, Contemporary (Baldwin's on fire doing the Great Commission; culturally sensitive without doctrinal compromise; evangelistic; can rekindle one's first love for Jesus)

Fiction, Contemporary (thriller with tie-in to his nonfiction apologetics book; contemporary, even incorporating reality TV craze)

Church History (so well-written it makes learning a pleasure; great as a reference book or for casual reading, it's that enjoyable)

Evangelism, Specific (compares Catholicism and its Catechism to Bible)

Movies, Drama (developed plot and characters, evangelistic endtimes drama, but its sequel is not nearly as good, get this first one)

Commentaries (verse-by-verse thru book of Daniel (critical for understanding Revelation); unlike most of Showers' books, not full of notes and citations, but easy to understand style for general reader; book little known of because Showers' books are marketed mostly thru his ministry not bookstores; recommend very highly)

Creation/Evolution (an Answers in Genesis book made even better with its 20007 update, a handy resource when encountering doubts raised in the name of science, falsely so-called)

Study Bible, NKJV Translation (just released Fall 2006, has concordance now, print's darker than NASB version)

Study Bibles, NIV Translation (conservative notes less compromised than others offered with NIV; for ex, no Old Earth gap or indecisiveness regarding clear prophetic scriptures)

Theology, General (chart format really clears thru the clutter; one of several helpful books in Zondervan Charts series)

Devotionals (both teaching and contemplative; MacArthur's followup devotional STRENGTH FOR TODAY is also great.)

Hermeneutics (Bible Interpretation; academic, but important in light of sloppy interpretation trends floating around today)
