description: The Growing Christian's Bookshelf is an enticing invitation for hungry readers to come and sit at the banquet table of the best literary delicacies and feast. We live in a world where books are plentiful but many of those most worth reading sit untouched on dusty shelves. This little and lively reference aid takes the Christian would-be reader by the hand, opening a doorway to the world of literature in a way that stretches, entertains and inspires. Written at a non-scholarly level, this unique guide presents a series of engaging invitations to books in several genres, including Christian books, novels, short stories, poetry, drama and non-fiction. Though The Growing Christian's Bookshelf's brief essays will motivate consummate book-worms to return to much loved classics as well as investigate previously unopened gems, they are specially designed to coax the non-reader toward exploring the wisdom and stories of nearly fifty literary masters from a biblical perspective. In addition to the main body of thought-provoking invitations to each work of literature, Mr. Perry includes a helpful introductory essay explaining the purpose and value of the book as well as a closing appendix aiding readers in their effort to secure great works of literature for themselves.
