Who are the "Christian" writers others like to read?
I like C.S. Lewis and Dallas Willard.
Lewis for Mere Christianity and Willard for The Divine Conspiracy.
Mere Christianity I read in one sitting, while I had to read and
ponder The Divine Conspiracy because it made me think about
the subject matter I couldn't just drink it in like I did Mere
Christianity.

Dostoyevsky--Crime & Punishment. Atonement all the way.
Baudelaire--The Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du Mal)--Investigations into Sin by a Damned Poet.
T.S. Eliot--Murder in the Cathedral, Four Quartets.
John Bunyan--Pilgrim's Progress. I was surprised that this book was so readable.
John Milton--short poems & Paradise Lost (can't get into the other long ones).
The Other Bible (Willis Barnstone ed.).
Elaine Pagels--The Gnostic Gospels.

"The Light and the Glory" then the sequal;
"From Sea to Shining Sea" and
"Sounding Forth the Trumpet"
Of course they concern American History, but the theme is "Did God have a plan for America?"
I highly recommend all three and in that order.

Originally posted by KellyJayI like B. Fulton J. Sheen's works - very readable. I know a lot of people who swear by Kempis; more recently I've started reading S. Teresa of the Cross's (Teresa of Avila) Interior Castle. I also hope to read the works of S. Catherine of Siena and S. Teresa of the Infant Jesus (Therese of Lisieux) some time.
