A friend crafted a list of books to give to a contact he'd made with a book store assistant. The assistant had not before encountered a Christian who could make his faith dynamic, inviting, and interesting. She wanted to know what to read.
The Bible of course: gospel of John. But also some books to help build the context (the 12th is my suggestion...only because I wanted 12 books; a good dozen, or maybe 13: a baker's dozen):
1. The Screwtape Letters: Lewis
2. The Great Divorce: Lewis
3. Schaeffer's Trilogy: Schaeffer -- Three books that set Western cultural history in a Biblical context: The God Who is There, Escape from Reason, He Is There and Is Not Silent.
4. Degenerate Moderns: Jones
5. The Devil's Delusion: Berlinski
6. Does God Exist?: Miethe/Flew
7. Darwin on Trial: Johnson
8. Sick Societies: Edgerton
9. In Defence of History: Evans
10. Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Scruton
11. A Fatal Conjunction: Kimm
12. The End of History: Windschuttle
13. Destructive Generation: Collier and Horowitz
