One of the best ways to learn more about God, grow in your faith, and be encouraged is to read Christian books by incredible authors.
Unfortunately, not all Christian non-fiction is created the same.
Here are 15 fantastic books that will transform your life that all Christians should read at least once.
1. The Entire Bible

While there’s certainly a great deal of hope, truth, and encouragement to be gained from hearing or reading portions of Scripture in isolation (whether at church, on social media, or in a popular women’s Bible study), nothing beats reading the entire Bible cover to cover.
By following the entire storyline of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you learn so much about who God is, who we are in Him, what He wants from us today, and what happens when we go our own way.

2. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis



In 1941 England, British author and professor C.S. Lewis gave a series of informal radio lectures on the BBC addressing the central issues of Christianity to a nation living under the harsh realities of World War II.
Since then, these lectures have been compiled into the single book “Mere Christianity,” which remains a staple piece of Christian non-fiction even to this day.

3. The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren



With over 35 million copies sold, “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren was a run-away hit when it was first published way back in December 2013. If you didn’t have a chance to read it then, however, its message is still every bit as relevant today.
In “The Purpose Driven Life,” Warren invites readers to discover the unique and wonderful lives God created each of us to live. This book isn’t just another book of “shoulds.” It’s an inspiring roadmap to a life that truly matters.

8. Fall in Love with God’s Word by Brittany Ann



Research shows that most Christians want to read their Bibles more often, and yet, they’re often too busy, distracted, or unmotivated to spend time in Scripture.
Author Brittany Ann argues that reading the Bible doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. Rather, Scripture gives us endless wisdom, encouragement, clarity, direction, and the opportunity to have a relationship with the God of the Universe who loves us very much.
This book is perfect for any Christian who wants to read, understand, and enjoy their Bible more, but who needs a little help getting and staying motivated to create this important habit.

9. The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel



A secular book that all people should read, Lee Strobel was a legal journalist and devout atheist before writing The Case For Christ. However, the author felt he couldn’t contest the miracles he once mocked without first researching all the Bible’s declarations for himself.
What followed was an exhaustive odyssey of self-discovery in which all of Strobel’s disbelief unraveled, forming a remarkable journey from skepticism to faith.
