JT, wil we get to see "The Top 10 Books That Were Most Influential to JT"?
I'd leave in C.S. Lewis!
Truly a systematic theology prof that puts Knowledge of the Holy as the number one.
Whether or not I agree on this one, I think it is surprising to see such a lack of Tozer in these lists. The Pursuit of God shares much with Desiring God , but is perhaps simpler and not as exegetical. Nonetheless, it has greatly shaped my understanding of what it means to be a Christian.
Maybe I'll take it up with Thoennes personally...
