1. "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis
   "I love the simplistic yet profound explanations of faith that CS Lewis has here. I find his illustrations to be very helpful."
2. "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas
   "A very long classic book, but a real page-turner!"
3. "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien
   "I read these books aloud with my kids. Despite being young, they loved them and we enjoyed being on the epic voyage together. We all felt a little sad when the journey came to an end."
4. "King's Cross" by Timothy Keller
   "I love the way Keller challenges us to view well-known verses of scripture in a slightly different, yet important way, something he also does in this book which goes through the gospel of Mark."
5. "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand
   "The story of Louis Zamperini in one word: unbelievable."
