book suggestions

I have been on this interesting journey in my faith over the last few years. Learning and growing, stretching and understanding deeper. It has been good times. Sonia and I both have come a long way.

I have been looking online for books to supplement and challenge my thinking. The only problem is, I don't want to go out there and buy some cheesy pep-rally Christian book that reminds me that I need to be a "warrior" or something. I am a grown man, I don't want to hear that hype anymore. I want some truth written by real seekers. I want some honest reflective books that enumerate what is happening in my spiritual life. I want some books that point me towards a relationship with God that isn't full of Christian rhetoric. I want books written by people that are not writing to the masses for personal financial gain.

I'll skip on the "Your Greatest Life Now" thing, thanks.

I went recently to the book section of my local Christian bookstore, and I couldn't find one thing that I wanted to read. Perhaps there is a gem in there marketed for the masses instead of marketed honestly and it fell through my filter. Who knows? But that's sad, don't you think?

If you guys know of any good books that you have read, please post. Maybe others might want to read them too.
