Great Christian books one must read

 Books can change your life.  The following are some of the all-time great books that Christians must read to enhance their spiritual growth, knowledge and faith. 
 This list was compiled by our friend Brandon Vogt (you can read about it in http://brandonvogt.com/best-catholic-books-of-all-time/) with the help of a list from Fr John McCloskey. I have added Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation 'Evangelii Gaudium' to the list. 
 This is a fantastic list. You can think of making a library of these books at home. However, these books come only after the Holy Bible. You can't categorise Bible or compare it with others. It's special. It's Life. It's the Word of God.
