A Book for Lent

Some people take on the spiritual discipline of reading a Christian book during Lent. I have been asked what books I would recommend. Here is a short list of some titles I would suggest folks consider. If you have a book you would recommend, comment and let me know.

Non-fiction
The Prodigal God, Tim Keller
The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis
Abba's Child, Brennan Manning
The Prayer Life, Andrew Murray
Life of the Beloved, Henri Nouwen
The Cross of Christ, John Stott

Fiction
Silence, Shusaku Endo
The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene
Gilead, Marilynne Robinson

Have you ever read "LET GO" by Fenelon? I'm considering reading that one too.
