wah, i've only read 4,6 and a bit of 10.
i'd also recommend this one by Barry Cullen called 'Authentic Spirituality' or something. plus a few books from Philip Yancey.
hi Alwyn,
I have not heard of Barry Cullen and cannot find the book on amazon.com and Christianbooks.com. Do you have more information of the book? I have read Authentic Faith by Gary Thomas.
These books are recommended as textbooks for college and seminary teaching. Philip Yancey writes good books but for a popular audience. I love Yancey's books and writing.
