Not too long ago I linked to a survey by Barna that listed the books and authors that were most influencing pastors. For many of us, the results were largely depressing.
So what books should pastors (and laypeople!) be reading? One good place to start would be with the recommended reading lists provided by 9Marks Ministries and Desiring God. For a helpful list of contemporary books on Christian living, you also might want to check out the CCEF bookstore.
