Top Ten Books, a book review page by Dr. Lee B. Spitzer, is intended to stimulate interest in worthwhile books on spirituality.  Usually, 10 books will be highlighted.  A variety of perspectives, cultures and literary categories will find their way into each month's lists.  There will be something for the spiritual beginner, the more mature journeyer, laypeople, and pastors.  Your suggestions are also welcome - just go to the bottom of the page and click the feedback link.  For your convenience (since many of these books may not be readily available in your local bookstore), I have directly linked each book to its page at Amazon.com; just click its picture and you can order in no time!

Robert E. Webber.  Ancient-Future Faith: Rethinking Evangelicalism for a Postmodern World.

Webber's previous works on evangelicalism and worship are challenging and worthwhile.  He is a rare evangelical who appreciates the contributions of other Christian traditions and the early church.  In this book, he discusses how the early church's practices of worship, teaching and outreach can guide our mission in today's culture.

In a busy age, observing Sabbath spirituality is a difficult challenge.  Marva Dawn invites us to reconsider the Sabbath's potential for our spiritual growth.

Tilden Edwards.  Sabbath Time: Understanding and Practice for Contemporary Christians.

The director of the Shalem Institute shares his insights into the spirituality of Sabbath keeping.  

Consider also Edward's classic Spiritual Friend.

Tilden Edwards.  Living in the Presence: Spiritual Exercises to Open Our Lives to the Awareness of God.

This is an excellent companion work to the two works above.  Tilden Edwards is not superficial, and though it may take a little work to get his points, the effort is worth it.

This is a revised and updated version of a book Edwards wrote 20 years ago, and it is still relevant to our situation.  Simplicity as a spiritual discipline requires courage, creativity and a desire to focus on God's presence in our lives on a daily basis.  

And now for a change of subjects . . . how about some resources on the Jewish roots of the New Testament?

David H. Stern has published a translation and commentary of the New Testament in which he seeks to bring out the Jewish flavor of the writings.  If you are interested in seeing what the New Testament looks like through Jewish eyes, his materials might be of help to you.

David Stern.  Jewish New Testament.

David Stern.  A Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament.

David Stern.  Jewish New Testament and Companion Volume on CD-ROM.

We'd love to have your response to this book list!
