Renovation of the Heart was good but SLOW reading - I found myself drawn back to Divine Conspiracy as I read it.

Gary Thomas is always good & Seeking the Face of God was very helpful in my own walk w/God. (Thanks again for introducing me to him so many years ago - wow, that would have been the first tc@hh retreat, sometime in 1999!)

I'm in the middle of unChristian, which is really forcing me to pray about what I'll be teaching & emphasizing this year as a pastor.

Confessions of a Pastor has some really good stuff in it... it's not as weighty as some of the other books you've listed.

Money, Possessions & Eternity is Randy Alcorn at his best - well-researched & thought out, provocative, and utterly Biblical.

The Bible... yeah, that's the best of the bunch. :-)
