Essential Reads vol. 2

It's been a little more than a year since my inaugural Essential Reads post. Since that time I have run across more books to put into my repertoire of reads essential. Without further ado, the second volume of Essential Reads.

• When struggling with doubt -- Reaching for the Invisible God by Philip Yancey
• When struggling with severe doubt -- Open My Eyes, Lord by Gary Oates
• Before helping the poor -- When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert
• When learning to pray -- any George Müller biography
• Before complaining -- Safely Home by Randy Alcorn
• Before doing anything else -- Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand
• Before going to Hell -- 23 Minutes in Hell by Bill Wiese

These are all powerful books. Be sure to read them before it's too late.
