The classics. Love ’em, hate ’em, avoid ’em like the plague.
Most of us fit into one of these categories when it comes to reading stuff written a long time ago in lands far, far away by people named Augustine, St. Theresa, or Brother Lawrence.
But you’d be surprised at how similar their questions and struggles are to what we’re dealing with today. Just like us, they loved, doubted, failed, and grew. And in the midst of all of it, they took a chance on following God and were absolutely blown away by the results!
Now it’s your turn to be blown away. This book contains the revolutionary ideas of twenty of the most influential Christian thinkers and writers of all time. And their messages are as relevant today as they were decades and, in some cases, centuries ago.
Yep. These are definitely twenty of our favorites. Hopefully, they’ll become some of yours as well.
