Max, with his absorbing style and captivating stories and word pictures, explains how God’s story shall become ours when we follow His leading.

Life is sometimes full of blocked entrances and locked doors. You have hopes and dreams, but the path to them is often cluttered with obstacles. Seasons of life arrive that are hard to explain. In Romans 8:28, Paul writes, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” When God’s story becomes yours, closed doors take on new meaning. God owns the key to every door and will use the one…
The Kneeling Christian illustrates the importance of sincere prayer.
I read relatively short sections of this book at a time because I would get an overwhelming desire to pray. In fact, it was during a prayer that was prompted while reading this book that I had one of my most profound encounters with God.

In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis presents powerful explanations for what Christianity is all about, helping his readers understand those details they had never grasped before.
His style and illustrations are truly amazing. This is one of those books that a Christian does well to go through again every few years. (I have listened to the audiobook 3 times so far.)
One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, 'Mere Christianity' has sold millions of copies worldwide.
The book brings together C.S. Lewis's legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to 'explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times'.
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
Martin Wells Knapp speaks much on discerning God’s voice.
He explains, in simple language, how God and Satan place thought in our minds and how we can discern from which source these impressions come. If you struggle to understand how God speaks to us humans, this book is for you.
Martin Wells Knapp defines an 'Impression' as an influence on an emotion, feeling or action - these can be good, such as impressions created by God, or evil, such as those originating from Satan.
This book discusses the various types of impressions, and the ways in which believers can - in the case of those holy or beneficent - receive them. Conversely, we are instructed how to avoid malevolent impressions by practicing good deeds and helping one's fellow man, while also devoting time to prayer and to reading and reflecting upon spiritual matters.
In Doing What Comes Spiritually, Drescher walks the reader through detailed descriptions of each of the fruits of the spirit and explains how they are the fruit of a proper surrender to God’s will and can not be obtained any other way.
This contains many worthy points and is a great addition to any Christian bookshelf.
