Don't just take my word for it: here is a not even-close-to-comprehensive (or even organized) list of books I wish every Christian man would read. Not all are Christian books. Not all are written by Christian authors. Some are theological, some are historical, some are fictional, some are culturally critical - but I think each and every one of them contain something that will provoke and compel the seriously minded Christian man to deeper thought, reflection, and engagement.
