I’m interested in reading christian classics. I’m interested in reading some Christian books from the past, not current day.
One of the best books that I have read is "The Bondage of The Will" by Martin Luther – Translated by J.I. Packer & O.R. Johnston. The almost 60 pages of historical and theological introduction by Packer and Johnston are really helpful.

There is no classier Christian book than the bible. #1 author and #1 top seller overall!

The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, although I remember being angry at the end of the last book and realizing the Christian message (you only realize the author was a devout Christian when you get to that point). I felt conned! Great books though, and although I read them as a child, I´m sure adults could enjoy them, too.
PS I am not a Christian.

Utopia, by Thomas More and Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis.
Lewis’ book The Screwtape Letters is also an excellent read.

One of the greatest classics, which has had a major impact on Christian thought, is St Augustine’s ‘Confessions’

And from the other end of the literary scale, I quite like ‘The Book of Margery Kempe’. In many ways it is quite an obscure work, and yet it gives a uniquely vivid and personal insight into the spiritual life of a Medieval mystic.

You should stick to reading Xian books because if you read other books it might just cause you to start thinking and who knows where that might lead. Good grief, your brain might explode and that would not be pretty, let me tell you. No, it’s much better off for you to stay in your happy sheltered world where you’ll never have to think again.
Try the Father Brown mysteries by G.K. Chesterton, classic novels with a Xian theme to them. The books of C.S. Lewis are Xian in nature as well.

Some great autobiographies include Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz, The Scarlet Lady by Carol Everett [also called Blood Money], Echoes of Mercy by Nancy Alcorn, and One Step Beyond by Gram Seed, also From Witchcraft to Christ by Doreen Irvine.
C.S. Lewis as I am sure wont disappoint you. I love historical romance and some excellent books i would recommend are Rekindled by Tamera Alexander and Revealed by the same author. Another thoroughly enjoyable book is A bride most begrudging by Deeanne Gist and another I plan to order which looks good called Maid to Match again written by Gist- all set in the past.
Happy reading x
