After I sent last week’s email update about the 100 best books ever written, and five reasons why reading is necessary for effective ministry, someone wrote and asked which biographies have shaped my life and ministry the most.
I told him I’d answer in a new article. So here they are in order of priority:
Against the Tide (the biography of Watchman Nee) – I’ve read it twice so far.
Shaped by Vision (the biography of T. Austin-Sparks) – I’ve read it twice so far.
In Pursuit of God (the biography of A.W. Tozer) – I’ve read it twice so far.
Here are others that I own and recommend:
Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
Watchman Nee: A Seer of the Divine Revelation in the Present Age
