4. Fields of Gold by Andy Stanley

fields of gold

A Christian text focused on the simple but integral principle of sowing and reaping, Fields of Gold navigates the precarious and seemingly complicated boundary between God and money. The foundation of this text: if the basis of your thoughts around giving are rooted in fear, then that is what you'll get in return — so why not plant faith instead?

 

5. Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's Tale by Ian Morgan Cron

What happens when the pastor of a mega church loses his faith? This is the story of Pastor Chase Falson, a man on a life-changing journey to Italy where he struggles to resolve his own crisis of faith by retracing the footsteps of Francis of Assisi, a saint who changed the history of the world. This riveting novel will inspire you to embark on a life-changing journey of your own!

 

6. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis, one of the most popular Christian writers of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all Christians stand on.
