I hope this is the correct forum for this question. If you had to recommend 4 or 5 books on Christianity and the proper understanding of scripture to a lay person, what would you suggest? They would be for a person who:
Has been a Christian/churchgoer most of their life
Is not of a reformed persuasion, and balks at those "flowery" words from the dark side
Has read the Bible through many times
Has primarily subsisted on baby food theology, although lately has been enjoying that tainted formula from China, maintaining that it still tastes good to them.
Claims to be interested in a deeper understanding of scripture, but finds the word "doctrine" to be for fuddy-duddies and those with nothing better to do with their time![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
