What book would you give to a young person to begin their Christian library? Let's assume that they already have a Bible; what else should be on their shelf?
I'd love to generate a reading list of Christian books to share at church through our website (thanks for the idea, Tom M.). Add your comments below or on Facebook.

"Heaven" by Randy Alcorn is one of my favorites.
Copy that on "Heaven." Others (for young people or adults:
The Signature of Jesus - Brennan Manning
The God I Don't Understand - Christopher J.H. Wright
What's So Amazing About Grace? - Philip Yancey
The Faith Once for All - Jack Cottrell (not a cover-to-cover book, but a great reference)
Every Man's Battle - Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoker, Mike Yorkey
The Cross of Christ - John Stott (a little heavy but profound)
Where is God When it Hurts? - Yancey
The Celebration of Discipline - Richard Foster
Mere Christianity - CS Lewis
That's a few off the top of my head.
Leap of Faith - Embracing the Life God Promised You by Ellie Lofaro
The Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis
Jesus Freaks - dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs
Daring to Live on the Edge - Loren Cunningham
"But Don't all Religions Lead to God?" - Michael Green
How to Stay Christian in High School - Steve Gerali
The Bible or the Axe - William O. Levi
Eli - Bill Myers
almost forgot -
Adventuring Through the Bible - Ray C. Stedman
A lot of the ones I thought of were mentioned so here are some newer ones that I just read.
-Crazy Love - Francis Chan
-Irresistible Revolution - Shane Claiborne
And of course the Case for Christ/Faith, both are great.
