I wouldn't want to live without the Bible, of course, and Jim Berg's Changed Into His Image, Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur by Frank Houghton, Isobel Kuhn's books...and probably several others, not to mention fiction. :-)

Faith said...

Those all sound like good books! I am STILL waiting for One Million Arrows to go on sale at CBD...then I will buy it! :)
The books I would have to have on a desert island are: My Bible, Sacred Pathways,(Gary Thomas) Deeper: Living in the Reality of God's Love,(debbie alsdorf) and What's so Amazing about Grace? (phil yancey)
