![]() ![]() Dreher takes the position that Christianity has essentially lost to modern secular culture in America, and the only way we will survive here is by going into a survival mode he calls “The Benedict Option.” While I disliked that he wasn’t thinking about evangelism (and he was a bit too alarmist for me), we would still do well to listen to his warnings. #8: THE BENEDICT OPTION by Rod Dreher : It may be one of the more controversial books on my list, but I read it because I thought it would challenge my perspective. This one is probably good if you have someone in your house that is into YA fiction. Suthern Hicks : Another fantasy allegory book about faith. It is at times repetitive, but at other times it’s absolutely brilliant. #10: EDGE OF ETERNITY by Randy Alcorn : This is Alcorn’s attempt at writing a Pilgrim’s Progress style allegory of faith. #11: GOD IS RED by Liao Yiwu : This book is in interview format and tells the story of the brutal persecution that Chinese Christians endured under communism in the mid-20th century. It’s challenging to read what he went through, but he is painfully honest about what he endured. #12: GOD’S HOSTAGE by Andrew Brunson : This is the story of missionary Andrew Brunson who just a few years ago was arrested and put in a Turkish jail for sharing his faith. ![]()
