Twelve Christian Classics

I was recently asked to recommend twelve Christian classics that every Christian ought to aim to read at some point in their Christian lives. Here is my list, in no particular order.

1. Saint Augustine, Confessions
2. John Stott, The Cross of Christ
3. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
4. Thomas a Kempis, The imitation of Christ
5. John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
6. Don Carson, A Call to Spiritual Reformation
7. JI Packer, Knowing God
8. CS Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
9. John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress
10. Martin Luther King Jr, Letter from Birmingham City Jail
11. John Piper, Let the Nations be Glad!
12. Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty
