Inclusion in this list does not necessarily mean I agree with everything these authors write, but that I have found these books very helpful, thought-provoking, encouraging, inspiring, etc. I do read other books that don't directly address matters of spiritual growth, the Christian faith, etc. (e.g. see my list above of books on Christianity and its impact on the formation of America). The ones listed here are some I think would benefit a person desiring to grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
