Now that we have a quick glimpse of the books featured in our list, you can read more details about each of them by reading the following:

1. The Holy Bible (Personally recommended)

The Bible should be on top of our list. Why not? It is the Book of books. It has been a top seller of all time in the world. It has been translated into every major language in the world. Every Christian who wants to follow God and Jesus Christ must have one. It contains the foundation of the Christian faith.

There are a lot of versions of the Bible but I personally recommend King James Version or the New King James Version. So before buying other Christian books, make sure you have a Bible by your side.

🚨 If you are searching for a new Bible, you may want to check out “The 10 best New King James Version (NKJV) Bibles.”

2. The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts (Personally recommended)

There are over 11 million copies of this book have been sold. For good reason: it teaches us how people receive and give love. It has been part of New York’s best-selling books list for eight years now.

There’s no doubt, The 5 Love Languages is truly a successful book, and it is a must-read for every Christian out there because it deals with all kinds of relationships and not just the romantic type.

The lessons from 5 Love Languages can be used by people who are friends, in a romantic relationship, and married couples.

🚨 Do you want to know more? If yes, you can read my The Five Love Languages book review where you will read the book summary as well as the number lesson I learned from the book.

3. The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Personally recommended)

Dubbed as the book that has changed the lives of millions, The Purpose Driven Life is a must-have book. It is originally a 40-day devotional that deals with the purpose of your life here on earth. After a decade it was first published, the book includes an expanded version. So you actually get more than 40 days of reflection and learning God’s purpose in your life.

4. When Bad Things Happen to Good People

This book has been a source of solace and hope for many people who are suffering. Sometimes, life can be so unfair, and we seek answers. Harold Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People gives an explanation about the purpose of life’s difficulties. Discover them now today and obtain hope in your life and for others who are dear to you.

5. A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 (Personally recommended)

The 23^rd of the Book of Psalms is definitely among the most popular passage and most often quoted chapter. Most people are familiar with Psalm 23; however, only a few really know its meaning. In this book, you will gain a whole new insight and understanding about Psalms 23 straight from a shepherd, Phillip Keller, the book’s author. Though a classic book, the lessons from its pages are timeless, and they don’t grow old. After reading this book, you will never see Psalm 23 in the same way again.

6. Every Man’s Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (Personally recommended)

If you are a person who wants to take hold of your sexual desires and use it for the glory of God, then you should never miss this book. Stephen Arterburn, together with other 2 authors, provides vulnerable, honest, and insightful lessons on how to be a man after God’s own heart by having a pure mind and spirit free of sexual perversion. This book examines what causes sexual temptation, how to overcome it and to ultimately win every man’s battle.

7. Humility by Andrew Murray

Humility is no doubt experiencing a deep poverty in today’s society. In a world where the “me, myself, and I” culture prevails, it not easy to find humility in people.

All of us suffers from pride. In fact, it is one of the most difficult sins to overcome and detect. For this reason, you will surely benefit from reading this book, Humility. It will teach you how to fill your life with humility and get rid of pride.

If you want to learn more, read my Humility by Andrew Murray book review.

8. Mere Christianity

Though a classic book written by one of the most popular Christian authors of the 20^th century, the message of Mere Christianity still rings true today. In this Book, C.S. Lewis explored the different origins of the various Christian faith and identified the common ground from which all of them are built on. By doing so, the author made a great conversation on how to prove the beliefs, doctrines, and faith of Christianity. The book gives both believers and unbelievers an excellent opportunity to hear a convincing, rational case for the Christian faith.

9. Psalm 91 by Peggy Joyce Ruth

Psalm 91 is among the most powerful and powerful chapters in the book of Psalms. Peggy Joyce Ruth made a great commentary about this chapter in her book, Psalm 91: God’s Umbrella of Protection.

In this book, you will learn what it really means to be protected by the Almighty and how to enjoy His divine protection.

10. The Love Dare

If you have watched the heart-warming and touching film, Fireproof, you will be familiar with this book. Fireproof is among the best Christian movies that I ever watched. I highly recommend that you watch it too. In the film, Caleb (the primary character), used the Love Dare given to him by his father to save his marriage. At the verge of divorce, Caleb followed what the Love Dare taught him and eventually rekindle his love for his wife. The Love Dare is a wonderful book not just for the married couple, but also to those people who look forward to having a blessed and fulfilling marriage.

11. 8 Secrets of the Truly Rich (Personally Recommended)

A lot of Christians today have the wrong concept of being rich. In this book, Bo Sanchez shows you the real reason that you should have why you want to be rich.

The aim of the book is to ensure that you are not just rich, but TRULY rich. It means you don’t just become materially wealthy, but also spiritually.

What I like about this book is it shows you that desiring riches is not wrong. In fact, if it is the will of God, you can be rich so God can use you to bless others as well.

I highly recommend this book. Read this eye-opening book here.

Timothy Keller is the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. In his book, he addresses the growing skepticism, doubt, and bias of people against God.

For example, the Bible tells you that Jesus Christ didn’t die on a Friday and rose on a Sunday, Christmas and Easter weren’t in the Bible, Christ said that no man has gone to heaven, and a lot more. Many Christians today are misinformed, misled, and even lied. The book, Shocked by the Bible, will truly SHOCK and surprise you about the least known facts written in your Bible.

Americans live in an affluent lifestyle. In a life full of comfort and lacking nothing, it is too easy for American Christians to forget how it really means to become a follower of Jesus Christ. The Bible shows that the Christian life demands a lot of sacrifices. You have to forsake security, possession, money, wealth, family, land, and even your own life.
