Essential Books for Discipleship

To all blog readers out there - along with the Bible, which 2-3 books, in your opinion, are essential reading for growth in Christian discipleship?
I'd love to receive your responses for my own faith journey and for the guidance of others in my church.
Thanks in advance!

I'd like to recommend a book I just published. It's called "The Least of the Apostles; the ministry and letters of Paul in chronological order.

It places a carefully condensed version of Paul's letters chronologically into the historical story of Paul's ministry as recorded in the Book of Acts.

Brief introductions to each letter and footnotes on historical background help the reader better understand Paul's ministry in the broader context of Roman History.

The book also includes short appendices on Paul's letters and the New Testament canon, and on the relation of Paul's teaching to that of Jesus.

This book was written for new believers, or for unbelievers who are "seeking" and who want a quick overview of what the gospel and Christianity is all about.

The books is available at Amazon.Com:
