Just wondering…most of the answers here are “Christian book store books,” for lack of a better term. That’s fine and good, but I’m wondering about the capacity of books outside these boundaries to affect our lives as Christians. Ron Hansen? Flannery O’Connor? Walker Percy? I guess that some of these sorts of books “affect” me more, because they speak more completely to my whole self—flaws and all. Even with C.S. Lewis, I find ’Til We Have Faces a more satisfying book than some of his more directly apologetic fiction. Any thoughts?
