Rees Howells: IntercessorRees Howells: Intercessor by Norman Percy Grubb
Buy used from: $6.88
This book about a man of prayer. A very humbling book, one that is written to make one repent for lack of faith.
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of HomecomingThe Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming by Henri J. M. Nouwen
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $6.94
I found Nouwen's personal reflections very emotionally healing, as it was during an extremely stressful time in my life when I read this book.
Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot (Hendrickson Biographies)Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot (Hendrickson Biographies) by Elisabeth Elliot
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $10.17
Jim Elliot is one of the greats - in his accountability, in his humble obedience to God's will, and ultimately in his sacrifice to help convert whoever it was that he was called to.
For All You've DoneFor All You've Done by Hillsong
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $5.17
I bought 4 copies of this in 2004 because I liked it and was influenced by it so much - one for my parents, one for an aunt and uncle, one for my roommate, and one for myself!
Come TogetherCome Together by Third Day

Human Dignity in the Biotech Century: A Christian Vision for Public Policy (Colson, Charles)Human Dignity in the Biotech Century: A Christian Vision for Public Policy (Colson, Charles)

The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? by Rick Warren
Buy new: $9.47 / Used from: $3.85
Also on my wish list, because my Dad stole it from me! I got this book first at Rick Warren's home church (Saddleback) for free, he had stacks and stacks of them for anyone to take home. I found the book refreshingly simple and stimulating at the same time.
ArrivingArriving by Chris Tomlin
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.25
I don't own any of his music, but I really like all of it that I've heard so far. A number of songs on this CD I really like, such as the first three tracks...

Who can go wrong with Vineyard when it comes to Christian pop? Enough said.
NIV Trimline BibleNIV Trimline Bible by Zondervan
Buy new: $19.79 / Used from: $15.94
I personally like the New International Version the best. It's just what I was used to when I grew up going to Sunday school. The trimline is also my favorite - it's sleek, the model I like has a fold over strap - gosh I miss having it. Lost it somewhere over the years. Now I have a cumbersome half-Korean half-English NIV bible that my dad gave me.
Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian HedonistDesiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist by John Piper
Buy used from: $0.50
Got it from my roommate in Chicago as a gift when I moved away. Helped me recognize that I am accepted for who I am in God's love.
Philosophy for DummiesPhilosophy for Dummies by Tom Morris
Buy new: $13.59 / Used from: $1.49
okay so this is the misfit in the list... it isn't a Christian book, but it helped me so much in my walk that I had to list it.
Beautiful Lumps of CoalBeautiful Lumps of Coal by Plumb
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.20
I like the song "Real." Great Christian artist.
