100 Best Books
RECOMMENDED BOOKS as at August, 2004 What would you say are the 100 essential books a literate Christian – particularly a pastor – should read? This list is grossly incomplete: I’d appreciate your help in refining it! Any response has to be personal/subjective of course. But as a counselor-of-clergy I know the time-constraints they’re under.
