What are some good Christian books to read? I've been told about Pilgrim's Progress. Are there any Christian books maybe for learning material or just a Christian themed book for entertainment that you could recommend to me? Thanks.
I'm not the biggest reader. And its hard for me to explain the type of books I tend to like. I tend to stick to "darker" books. More mellow books with tragedies that have its happier moments. I can't stand anything mainstream (no Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. etc.) but when it comes to Christian books I'm willing to try anything.
Not the biggest reader? Okay, this could be difficult. Have you read The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis? How about The Circle Quartet or Thr3e by Ted Dekker? How about The Visitation or The Oath by Frank Peretti? There are many others but those are a good start.
Sacred Search by Gary Thomas! I've recommended this one on several different threads here. He describes the Why you marry being much more important than the who you marry. Also gives great life advice
it is very drawn out (many pages to say the same thing over and over again), and I gave up on it, but I do think that everyone should read at least parts of it.
It basically tells you "stop striving for everything the world tells you to strive for, and start focusing on God"

The Hobbit is one book, rather (split into three movies).
I find the last two Narnia movies to have been not so great ─ more so the most recent (Caspian, I think). The books are lovely, though. Easy reads with a Christian undertone.

I don't know if this is your style, but it is one of the best Christian books I have read on evangelism, and it also won top book of 2014 in the Apologetics category. It is informative, but easy to read, and inspiring!
The Unbelieveable Gospel: Say Something Worth Believing by Jonathan K. Dodson.
I am a doctrine kind of guy...its not always interesting to folks who don't feel a call to study doctrine...But C.S. Lewis is a well known Christian author who kind of mixes faith in with interesting stories and novels.

Then there is the "classic" "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer. Yeah I have mentioned this book on many forums but it is so good. Then you have "Know what you believe" and "Know why you believe" both by Paul E. Little.
