Top 25 Most Influential Books

I thought that I would go through my library and choose the top 25 books that have influenced my thinking the most. I do want it to be known that no book has changed my life in the way that the Bible has. There simply is no substitute! I like the words of that old bluegrass tune, "I'm using my Bible for a roadmap." Anyway, here's the list, and I intend on updating it twice a year as I continue to read more and more books. They are listed in no particular order. As my seminary president, Dr. Paige Patterson, likes to say, "We may not eat, but we will read."
