If possible, every Christian should have a biography section in their personal library. The workings of God in the lives of others are meant to be encouraging and challenging to us. Here are some of my top biography recommendations:
-John G. Paton: An Autobiography
-Through Gates of Splendor and The Shadow of the Almighty by Elizabeth Elliot (about Jim Elliot)
-The Autobiography of George Muller
-Spurgeon by Arnold Dallimore
-George Whitfield by Arnold Dallimore
-The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
-Here I Stand by Roland Bainton (about Martin Luther)
-Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography by Ian Murray
-All of John Piper’s “The Swans Are Not Silent” series.
-Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan
-Augustine’s Confessions
Meditations on God, His Word, and His World (under the grace found only because of Christ Crucified)
