Names You Can Find On A Gospel Book Store Shelf

By Catherine Wallace


Reading gospel books is one effective way by which Christians can grow up spiritually. Apart from the Bible, gospel books have made tremendous impacts on the lives of many faithful readers. The different levels of exposure to gospel books among Christians make a major difference in the way they live their lives.

To get the best from Christian literature, it is important to know which ones to go for. Books written by Watchman Nee, Francis Chan, David Platt, Sarah Young, John Piper, Billy Graham, CS Lewis, Oswald Chambers, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren and Lee Strobel are known to have changed the lives of many for the better. Their books have also been a source of inspiration to many pastors who combine them to prepare messages. These authors are among the best sellers anytime so you can find them in almost any gospel book store you see.

Lee Strobel was an atheist before he came to know the Lord. At first, he wanted to make a mockery of the Christian faith so he decided to go into journalism to make his campaign more effective. Fortunately for him, the Lord met him himself with some of the most convincing proofs to show that he exists. He gave up his first ambition after being arrested by God and joined the league of Christian writers who are changing lives. Some of his popular books include "The Case for Christ" and "The Case for Faith."

Apart from being a pastor and the founder of Saddleback Church, Rick Warren is also a good writer. One of his popular books, "The Purpose Driven Life, " has been said to have caused men to give their lives to Christ. In addition to all these, Warren has impacted the lives of many who have attended his seminars and conferences.

If the name, Billy Graham, is not included in the list of popular Christian writers, a mistake would have been made somehow. This is because his books are among the best sellers and one will not be surprised to hear this seeing that he commands a great crowd wherever he stands to preach the good news of Christ's salvation. Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon and two out of many former presidents who have enjoyed t spiritual counsel. He has been in the midst of over 2 billion people, out of which around 3.2 million of them responded positively to the call for salvation.

Oswald Chambers was not able to publish all the books he wrote before he died. One of the books that were published posthumously was "My Utmost for His Highest." Some other notable works include "Hope, a Holy Promise, " and "If You Will Ask"

Watchman Nee is another Christian writer no one can neglect. He was born on November 4, 1903, and died on June 1, 1972, in China. He wrote very inspiring books such as The Normal Christian Life, The Release of the Spirit, Spiritual Authority, and Sit, Walk, Stand.

Although a lot of the books are no longer new, the demand for them is still high, and this has caused many stores to always have them even in large quantities. Anyone can order them and pay with credit cards or any other supported electronic payment systems.
