Tim Keller (@timkellernyc) recently tweeted several important basic Christian books that formed him as a college student. While I’m sure this isn’t his comprehensive list, it provides helpful recommendations for spiritual formation.
Keller: “I read ‘Basic Christianity’ by John Stott when I was [in college]. It’s short, but sweet.”
Keller: “This book helped list many of the ‘isms’ I encountered in college and the world. I highly recommend it still.”
Related anecdote from Keller’s The Meaning of Marriage: “Some years ago, a man who regularly listened to my preaching made a shrewd observation. He said, ‘When you are well prepared for your sermon, you cite a great variety of sources, but when you aren’t well prepared, you just quote C. S. Lewis.'”
Keller: “While there were many other books that helped me in college, the last one I’m going to highlight is by A.W. Tozer.”
