Little_1 -> Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (3/24/2008 6:53:44 PM)

One of my favourite authors is Joyce Meyer. I think she has some really valuable things to teach and she does so very clearly and simply.

Some of my favourite books by her include:

- The Name, the Word and the Blood.
- The Battle Belongs to the Lord.
- The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word.
- Battlefield of the Mind.

Another firm favourite is Stormie Omartian. She uses Scripture in prayer which I believe is very important:

- The Power of a Praying Wife
- The Power of a Praying Woman

I also like Warren W Wiersbe and his 'Be' serious of Bible Commentaries as they are easy to read and understand and I love the way he thinks so clearly.

Leif Enger for fiction. I love his novel Peace Like a River. Or maybe CS Lewis for Til We Have Faces.

For biography I liked Bruchko by Bruce Olson. And Corrie Ten Boom of course.

There are a series of authors I like for non-fiction. Folks like Murray, White, Niebuhr, Tozer.

It's too hard to choose one favorite. I've loved everything Karen Hancock has written. Same with Robert Liparulo (sp?). And Kathy Tyers. And Joel Rosenberg, he'll just scare the pants off ya with his Mid-East thrillers. I don't read enough non-fiction to have a favorite.



SuspenseWriter -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (3/25/2008 11:28:23 AM)

For fiction, ABA, it would have to be Dean Koontz. CBA fave is Alton Gansky. That Robinson fellow isn't bad either...[8D]

For non-fiction ABA, I like P.J. O'Rourke. Non-fiction CBA, John G. Lake and David Wilkerson.

Who, Jackie? Yeah, he played a decent 2nd base, but what's that got to do with books? [8D] I still can't find Sock Monkey Blues for a decent price. [:@]

I havent read anything other then Ted Dekker and his Black,Red,White series was amazing.



Final_Fantasy_fan -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (3/25/2008 5:20:38 PM)

I'd say C.S. Lewis. I love the Chronicles of Narnia. [:D]



NickDaddyo -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (3/27/2008 1:13:58 PM)

Donald Miller and Rob Bell.

C.S. Lewis is great too.



jonphillips -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/3/2008 10:12:57 AM)

I like E Raymond Capt. He is a Biblical archaeologists. Some of my favorite books are Jacobs Pillar and Traditions of Glastonbury. He always makes sense. Glastonbury talks about where Jesus was between his childhood and adult years. Makes you think.



ClintonPI -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/3/2008 11:53:51 PM)

Anything by John MacArthur. Then there's John Piper, Don Whitney, Andrew Murrey and Jerry Bridges. Wow, there's alot of good ones. But I guess if I'd have to go for absolute favorite it would be MacArthur.



hawknelsonismyfriend -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/5/2008 4:20:35 PM)

david crowder's praise habit.



Pipp -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/5/2008 4:30:17 PM)

I love Melody Carlson her books are so amazing. she makes them so real, i can relate to every character.



bradcongo -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/5/2008 5:24:12 PM)

I'm going with Max Lucado on this one. He is my all-time favorite author. I'm reading 3:16 right now. So far so good!



Prairiehiker -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/6/2008 7:27:08 PM)

Blue like Jazz by Donald Miller
John Eldredge
Anything by James Dobson, John MacArthur
The Case series by Lee Strobel



brothertodd -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/7/2008 1:50:18 AM)

First let me state that I hope you take your fav. authors teachings in light of scripture.
Example (this statement is not judging the author but the authors teaching) is rick warrens purpose driven life, I commend him for a very uplifting book but i dont recomend it because scripture was taken out of context to proove a point. If one wants to know about an author go to walter martins apologetics index and look up an author or teacher.
To answer your question John Macarthur, his teachings (so far) have been grounded in truth.
Lee Strobels the Case for...series, these will give you armament in an ever increasing skeptical world that has a growing hostility to christianity.



crm4souls -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/7/2008 5:36:06 PM)

There are many great Christian authors, but to name one, I would say CS Lewis for:

Mere Christianity
Screwtape Letters
Chronicles of Narnia



earthless -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/8/2008 9:57:28 AM)

C.S. Lewis

Ravi Zacharias

Erwin Lutzer

Lee Strobel

Hank Hanegraaff

to name a few....



SweetPea83 -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/9/2008 1:41:34 PM)

The late Catherine Marshall.



Thankdaisy -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/14/2008 1:10:15 PM)

C.H.Spurgeon for me, not only for his theology but his loveliness of character



1love1God1way -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/14/2008 1:41:46 PM)

I'm reading St. Augustine's "Confessions" right now. Amazing piece of work.

I also really enjoy Max Lucado. Not to say that he is perfect or anything, but I think he does a fabulous job of taking deep truths and making them small, simple, and capable of pulling some heartstrings.



ConstantReader -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/14/2008 5:34:30 PM)

Ted Dekker
Eric Wilson
Robert Liparulo
C.S. Lewis
Randy Singer
Dave Hunt

I am still reading his latest thriller Dead Heat. Although a "Mid-East" thriller, the mushroom clouds are in other parts of the world. I've also read his non-fiction book, Epicenter.



FroMan -> RE: Who is your favourite Christian Author and Why (4/26/2008 3:35:06 AM)

CS Lewis probably tops my list. I'm not a fan Narnia, but Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, and others are awesome.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind.

I also enjoyed Ortberg's The Life You've Always Wanted.

And recently, I read Rob Bell's Velvet Elvis. I couldn't put that book down.

There's another book...less known...called...

The Three Kings about Saul, David, and Absalom. It is one of my favorite books of all time. Simple to read. Short. Incredible.
