Top 5 Most Influential Books

The people that have impacted me the most whether they be a scholar, family member, friend, or laymen, it has always been the ones who were personal with me. Honest and real. They let me into their lives and didn’t interact with me from a distance. Fortunately, many of those have been both pastor and theologian. So, in an attempt to be personal with everyone who is reading my blog, here are some tid-bits about me and some of the things as far as the culture goes, that God has used to shape my life and worldview.

I have many favorite books and there are an assortment of ones that deserve to be on this list. But, I still reserve the right to add the disclaimer “subject to change.” However, what you will find here are the masterpieces and works of art that God has used tremendously to shape the way I live my life and the way I think.

1) Future Grace by John Piper – Future Grace

2) How Now Shall We Live? by Charles Colson – How Now Shall We Live?
