Heath and I have only read two from this list. (Nouwen and Sumner) Although the one by Willard sounds familiar, maybe we’ve read part of that one? We’ll have to check out some of the others!

The only book on this list I’ve read is The Divine Conspiracy. But I agree, I wish everyone would read it. It is one of the few books I’ve read that has really influenced the way I look at the world and my place in it. Good stuff.
