good books?

free will

what are some of your favorite books? especially those that help you with your spirituality? (but not limited to that genre).

i've read coc and in search of christian freedom. i've yet to read just like jesus by max lucado (?). and thanks to a similar thread, ordered illusions by richard bach.

so what else is there?

free will

that should read just ordered, illusions...
but ordered illusions sounds profound...if only i had the desire to write that book!

Well, Thunder Rider's Burden of course

SpunkyChick

It's not a spiritual book per se, but it's the best self help book I've ever read, Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway.
