Aside from the Bible, what book should every Christian read?
The Huffington Post has an article titled “Spiritual Classics: 25 Books Every Christian Should Read.”
In their slide show, they feature classics from the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions. Here are six titles from their list:
–Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
–The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
–The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
–Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton
–The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence
–The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
That’s quite a list of heavy-hitters! Which ones have you read?
Now it’s your turn: If you were to recommend one book that every Christian should read, what book would it be? If it’s too general to think of “every Christian,” substitute the words “your friends.”
Once you’ve decided on the book, make a list of three reasons why every Christian or your friends should read this book. Then write about one of those reasons in a paragraph. Your reason will most likely be your topic sentence.
Note: You can write this prompt whether or not you are of the Christian faith.
