Literature and God


I think that in each person there is some odd way that connects them straight to God. Odd in that it is outside the prescribed Bible reading and prayer formula of the spiritual disciplines, and often does not resonate easily with others.

For me, certain books seem to take me straight into the presence of God, or have spoken to me in some deep place of a great truth. Here I'll list those books that I love, and think that everyone should read.

CS Lewis - 'Surprised by Joy'

GK Chesterton - 'Orthodoxy'

Donald Miller - 'Blue Like Jazz'
