Best Christian Books Other Than The Bible

I’ve recently had a couple of different people email me to ask someone email to ask me what I would recommend for them to read, and both of them kind of stumped me. So I gave them each some sort of answer, but I thought this would make a very useful discussion topic. So, what books, other than the Bible, would you recommend other Christians read?
