I am asking a number of friends to answer the following question: If you could wave a magical wand which caused all Christians to read five books, what works would you pick? Here is the next installment.
John Scholl holds a PhD in Medieval History. He was a Fulbright scholar and currently teaches at Trinity Classical School of Houston and at Houston Baptist University.
Here is John’s list:
1) The Bible — probably that is assumed here, since I know you, but not every Christian assumes it, so I include it here.
2) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
3) Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place
4) Martyrdom of Polycarp
Ok, I could only think of 4, but its a tall order: five books “for all Christians.” I have been influenced by alot of novels and history books, but they would not be helpful for lots of people.
