Acts (whole book)- great way to learn how the church got started, and very entertaining.
1 Corinthians 13 and 14- My favorite chapter (13-Love), and 14 which refers to spiritual gifts.
This Present Darkness/Piercing The Darkness (Frank Peretti)- My favorite books of all time! Talks about the principalities of darkness and the battles we don't see (fictional).
Proverbs (one chapter a day)- Reading a chapter a day in this simple book helps a lot.
1 and 2 Samuel- If you have only heard the stories of David, its time you experienced them in a whole new way. Pay attention to how God hands his enemies to him, and how he hits the slippery slope in 2 Samuel (starting with being away from battle).
The Shack (William P. Young)- Oh boy, this is an amazing book. Totally changes your walk with Christ. Fictional story about a man spending a weekend with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (I really wish I could say more).
Dateable (Lookadoo, DiMarco)- Great book on having a relationship with God, and having it reflect into your dating life (basic description).
Every Young Man's Battle (Arterburn, Stoker)- Great book about guys... being guys, and learning how to overcome all the things teen guys go through. Girls should read if they think they understand guys (prepare to have your mind blown!).
Do You Want To Go To The Mountain (Thomas Young)- great book by my pastor, talks about Jesus' transfiguration atop the mountain with 3 of his disciples.
Wild At Heart (John Eldredge)- Grrrrreat book! Being able to understand man, and God's purpose for us. Goes great with Every Young Man's Battle (or Every Man's Battle, same authors). Eldredge uses great examples to show our similarities to God's character (he refers to Braveheart a few times!).
Genesis (whole book)- If for one second you thought you were messed up.....
1 John 2- Good for guys to read
Ecc. 12- Also good for guys to read.
Epehesians (whole book, esp. ch. 6)- After about a year of hearing sermons from this book... I can tell you it is rather amazing. Put on the Whole Armor Of God!
Job (Whole Book)- This story puts FML to shame. He remains faithful to God through everything, rather than trying to make a funny story out of it (also, when God speaks... whoaaahhhhh super awesome to hear God talk smack!!!)
Romans (Whole book)- Get to know the Romans road.
Most of these books I have read, but I always re-read so don't think Im going to not be reading.... believe me I am stacked with books right now.
