1. Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge -- It is about the personality of Jesus. We see Him as so rigid and religious, but that's exactly what He hated. Eldredge describes it as "Watching tv without the sound on". When we see Jesus' playful and fun side, we began to understand and connect on a deeper level with Him.
2. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers -- It's a retelling of the story of Hosea and Gomer. Hosea was asked by God to love and marry a prostitute. She continued to leave him and go back to prostitution, even having children by these other men. It is not your typical silly novel (which I like too!). It's very deep and explores the heart and it's response to what life brings. Good stuff.
3. Erasing Hell by Francis Chan -- If you have heard all the drama, or read Rob Bell's latest book, Love Wins, you will want to read Erasing Hell. It's a flat out rebuttal. Get both sides of the story. It shows us the truth of what the Bible says about Hell. Unfortunately, some of it you won't like!
