Who's list are you wanting to see?

Ok - let's turn this out to the world, and see who's list you want to see listed.  We'll make every attempt to contact them, or their resident experts, to obtain their reading list.

Use the comments below to post suggestions (and of course, oddball suggestions will be removed at our discretion).

Here are a few that I know right off the top of my head:

Voddie Baucham

Adrian Rogers

Paul Washer

This is an experiment in reading consideration.  Every person worth their salt has a list of books that they have personally read that have formed and transformed their lives.  This is the list of those lists, based entirely on a voluntary giving of each person's list of books that you should consider reading.

The website for this list is considerreading.me, and the hope is that as these books have formed and transformed the lives of those who've volunteered their lists, they will also form and transform yours.

Links to various places to either purchase, or read the books online will be provided as time permits.

Enjoy!
