Reading Good Books





January Epic
Guest teacher, Conor Anderson, helped us ring in the new year by challenging us to read good books: which usually means old books. "It is through the reading of books that we as Christians can hope to take back the U.S. education system, political system and popular culture- all which were founded with Christian principles at there conception."

Conor's Top 10 Recommendations for Good Books:
- How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren
- The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis
- Reason in the Balance, Phillip Johnson
- Confessions, St. Augustine
- A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
- The Everlasting Man, G.K. Chesterton
- Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses, C.S. Lewis
- The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard
- Reasonable Faith, William Lane Craig
- Shakespeare

What books do you recommend? What books have impacted you deeply and why?
