Favorite Chrisitan Authors:

Recommendations:
 
C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia (especially the book The Horse and His Boy)

Anything by Philip Yancey, Max Lucado, Brennan Manning (especially The Ragamuffin Gospel)
 
William Paul Young, The Shack

On Writing:

Recommendations:
 
Ralph Keyes, The Courage to Write & The Writers Book of Hope (a must for anyone thinking about writing. Very encouraging, and insightful!)
 
Anne Lamott, bird by bird (an absolutely hilarious book on writing, and what one will encounter in the process)
 
 
Strunk & White, The Elements of Style
 
 



There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.  Phil. 1:6 (The Message)
