Christian biographies (at least the old school ones) tend to be very poorly written--so you really have to give yourself some level of space to be ok with the language and cheesiness, etc... Wanna read william carey with me? Last summer i read Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secrets--it was awesome and I credit that to having shaped lesson #1 of ministry lessons--prayer works! thanks for the suggestion tyler… Christian biographies (at least the old school ones) tend to be very poorly written–so you really have to give yourself some level of space to be ok with the language and cheesiness, etc… Wanna read william carey with me?

I read a book by a Benedictine nun, Joan Chittister, and it was fascinating. If I were to ever join an order, it would likely be the Benedictines since a large part of their theology is actually engaging their surroundings rather than removing themselves from them. Let us know how it is. I actually haven't read many Christian biographies. Do you have any suggestions for a good starter? For good fiction, check out Robinson's <em>Gilead</em>.
