All-time Favorites
These books are brilliant. Either I love them dearly, and/or they have profoundly shaped my life and worldview. They will mostly fall into the genres of theology, Biblical Studies, or "Christian Living" with maybe a few tag-alongs from other genres. Some of the books in the other favorites categories may have strong cases for getting on this list, but Amazon won't let me duplicate, so I've left them where they are.
