Everyone has either person(s) or books that have greatly shaped who they are inside and how they think and carry out their personal live. I’ve read many books throughout my Christian life and studies but not everything have necessarily shaken me up to the core and changed the way I think and behave; however, these ones did for me. They have been the most influential in shaping my spirituality. These may not necessarily be the best books available—but just what I have read myself. Here’s several I’ve come up with so far in my inventory.
On Christian apologetics:
Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto (Crossway Books, 1981).
On the Christian life:
Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man (New York: Christian Fellowship Publishers, 1968).
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together (Harper, 1978)
I’m not familiar with De Mello but he seems to be very inspirational and has attracted a great following, but controversial.

Books can play a major part in helping us to understand our own beliefs and attitudes. I have found the writings of Anthony De Mello to be inspirational in my life particularly “Awareness”.
