DJ has a heart for the people of the Phillipines, he landed recently to start his journey that will take him over a year, and maybe a life...and you see his heart in his question.My answer is laid out below. What would be yours? What books have encouraged you?
Totally depends on God and the audience He would have you reach. Here are 7, I am sure there are 70 more.
1) Bible: 1 John, Ephesians...Simple, powerful.
2) "God is closer than you think." Lighthearted, point directly to the immediate possibility of a relationship with God....great for me when I thought I couldn't connect with God. http://bit.ly/9fOUWZ
3) "Epic" by John Eldridge..short, simple, evanglististic
"Wild at heart" and "Waking the Dead": for healing and battle: John Eldridge

4) "Spiritual Leadership" by J Oswald Saunders: How to become the leader God wants all of us to be. Perhaps for the more mature Christian.
5) FREE: "When I don't desire God, how to fight for joy" John Piper Rich with sound teaching through the ages.

6) The most life-changing for me personally was the "One Month to Live" series by Kerry Shook

7) "The Purple book" Hank Mercier from LifeChurch thought this was the best, I have not been through it, but might fit. Hank is one of my heros of faith.
