I have been reading a Commentary on Mark by Tyndale and a Francine Rivers fiction book.
What are some good books to get you deeper into Jesus and into his word and fall in love with Jesus more?
I am sure there are many but one that comes to mind for falling in love with Jesus is " A Shepherd Looks at 23rd Psalm" by Phillip Keller. Very precious.

Right now I have been reading a here and there in the Word Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, and Jonah. And also for personal reading to help better train me and build me up as a father is "Raising a Modern Day Knight" its about raising your son to become a Man of God.
In the book of Acts. But always like to plug Purpose in Prayer by E. M. Bounds. I can pretty much crack this book any time and get a good chunk of manna reading a random selection. Spurgeon Gold by Ray Comfort has been the same way recently.
Putting the Amazing Back into Grace, by Dr. Michael Horton and
The Holiness of God by RC Sproul
Mere Churchianity by the late Michael Spencer.
All Things for Good by Thomas Watson.
The Knowledge of the Holy - A W Tozer
A Call to United, Extraordinary Prayer - ('An humble attempt...') - Jonathan Edwards
2 Kings, Ezekiel and Hosea
Intimacy with Christ - Jeanne Guyon
Prophecy and Responsibility - Graham Cooke
Hosting the Holy Spirit - Various
The Koran (N.J. Dawood)
Intimacy with Christ - Jeanne Guyon
And I'm reading Guyon's Autobiography. I also down loaded her "Short and Easy Method on Prayer".
I recommend it - especially to those who are wrestling over the woman's place in God's kingdom.

The Autobiography is astounding. One of the best biographical works I've ever read. Short and Easy Method of Prayer or Expereicing the Depths of Jesus Christ as it's often titled is excellent as well though I'm cautious about recommending it as I distrust methodologies for intimacy. Still brilliant insights from a devoted life and a very deep love relationship with the LORD.
I just finished reading 'Green Leaf in Drought' by Isobel Kuhn. For those who do not know Isobel Kuhn is the wife of John Kuhn, missionary with the same organization, OMF, that Hudson Taylor started.
It is a short biographical account written by Isobel Kuhn about 2 of the last missionaries to leave China in their turn toward Communism. They struggled for 2 years, while the Chinese tried to starve them, before they were delivered by His grace.
Very easy read. I finished it within a few days.
Shadows of the Beast by Jacob Prasch. Though I haven't gotten that far into it yet.
The story of Samuel Morris, a Black man from Liberia .
Please read that book and you will be challenged about the power of the Holy Ghost.
"The Beatitudes" God's Plan For Battle
by Russell Stendal (I picked up this little but powerful book at the OKLA VOM conference.)
Learning more from the ones who are persecuted and the ones who take the Gospel into the restricted and hostile Nations than anything else. They all are taking a stand for Jesus and risking their lives so others will know that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I am so humbled by them.
There is no discussion on theology etc. just a pure heart for the Lord Jesus Christ and for the lost and each other. Praise His Holy Name. People who are so interested in the things of the Kingdom of God. I am so very blessed by them and am longing and desiring to have a deeper and a more passionate heart of God myself.
Other Nations call us the sleeping giant. God help us. We must look inward as to where we are sleeping and ask the Holy Spirit to wake us up and give us His heart.
All glory to God!
I've enjoyed books by Watchman Nee as I know this author made me fall in love more and more with Christ.
Here's a list of them:
The Normal Christian Life
The Release of the Spirit
The Overcoming Life (Another Title for this book is called "The Life that Wins"
Secrets to Spiritual Power

Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill and Joy In Believing by Henry Sloane Coffin.
Coffin... now there's a unique last name. If that was my last name I probably would have become an undertaker!
That would be funny.

"Coffin... now there's a unique last name. If that was my last name I probably would have become an undertaker!"
Haha. I actually know of a mortician whose last name is "Goodnight". Now that's a name for someone in our profession!
But while I'm here, and to answer this tread's original question, the book I've been reading is "The Great Falling Away Today" by Milton Green.
