"Searching for God Knows What" and "Blue Like Jazz" both by Donald Miller.

I agree with Mere Christianity...it's not forceful.....What is the best book for a new christian to read? Besides the Bible?
The Quran



http://www.islam101.com/quran/yusufAli/



Surah 1. The Opening



1. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.



2. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;



3. Most Gracious, Most Merciful;



4. Master of the Day of Judgment.



5. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.



6. Show us the straight way,



7. The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

Welcome to the family. If you want to be challenged, I suggest anything by A.W. Tozer. Also, check out this site:

There is much reading material here and downloadable mp3's. Pastor Jim is a good man of God and is more than willing to answer any questions you may have. I cannot recommend him high enough.What is the best book for a new christian to read? Besides the Bible?
What's So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey.



Also a very good secular read which will give you more insight into your faith is The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck.
Your Best Life Now....Joel Osteen

Close Encounters of the God Kind...Jesse Duplantis
I would recommend two things.



Start in the bible in the book of John. not first john, plan ol John, read it about 3 times. let it sink in.





Second there is a book called, Joshuah. I don't remember who wrote it, its about a stranger who is a wood workers. You will like it.
I totally agree with Averell on "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis. Another one I would recommend is "The Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brent Manning.
As an avid movie watcher, I recommend:



"The Ten Commandments" (1956)

"The Prince of Egypt"



Books:

"The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren

The "Left Behind" series
There are many helps available. I'm not sure where to direct you as far as a specific resource. If you go to a Christian bookstore, someone there should be able to show you something. Welcome to the family!
anything by eric butterworth!! good good stuff
Get "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis.
The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer and the Radical Cross by Tozer. Another good one is "The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life" by Hannah Whittall Smith
What Does the Bible REALLY Teach - published by Jehovah's Witnesses.
