At Highland we’re putting together a list of recommended books for members to give to unchurched friends which excel at introducing Christ/ Christianity. Our staff list is below. What would you add?

Chris, I would add two books to this lists (books that I have bought for others).
1. Scot McKnight, “One Life: Jesus Calls, We Follow” (http://www.amazon.com/One-Life-Jesus-Calls-We-Follow/dp/0310277663). This book, which seems especially helpful to the young emerging adult, does a thorough job of connecting the way of Jesus to everyday life. The book is easy to read.
2. Craig G. Bartholomew and Michael W. Goheen, “The Drama of Scripture: Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story” (http://www.amazon.com/Drama-Scripture-The-Finding-Biblical/dp/0801027462). This book introduces the Bible as a large narrative, helping the reader to understand that story and the worldview that scripture projects so that it is not absorbed into another worldview. The book was written for non-Christian undergraduate students. Ironically, this book was introduced to me by a Christian who has no degree in theology. So despite the book’s “academic” publisher, it is definitely accessible to those without an academic background in theology.
Thanks, Rex. These are great recommendations.
Peace,
Chris Altrock
