Bands: Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, Watermark, Shane and Shane, Caedmon's Call, Derek Webb, Keith Green, Switchfoot, Johnny Cash, Sonny Bono, U2, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Jars of Clay, Steve Fee, Stellar Cart, Skillet, Andy Griffith, Randy Travis, Rascall Flatts, Some Elvis Presly, Brenton Brown, Charlie Hall, Aarron Schust, dcTalk, TobyMac, Bethany Dillon, Ed Cash, Nochole Nordman, Chris Rice, and of course Tim Hughes!
Books: Knowledge of the Holy by Tozer, (Great Divorce, Narnia, Screwtape Letters, Suprised by joy, Reflections on the Psalms, Space Trilogy, ok anything by CS Lewis), anything by John Piper but especially Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ, JRR Tolkein, Douglas Wilson, "iamnot but I know I AM " by Louie Giglio, unquenchable Worshipper by Matt Redman, Praise Habit by David Crowder, Humility by Andrew Murray, Norm Wakefield, my Hymnal collection, John Calvin's God the Creator and God the Redeemer, John Wesley's Power of the Holy Spirit, etc. I could so go on....
Speakers: Who else, Eric Ludy! :) Norm Wakefield (changed my life), Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, John Piper, Beht Moore, Voddie Baucham, Stuart Hall, Little Bear Wheeler, Ken Davis, Brian Regan, Kelly Wheat (my pastor), Andy Stanley, Douglass Gresham
Favorite stuff that's helped me on the Christian walk: my Family, my friends from our group HOPE, chocolate chip cookie dough, my guitar, NEAG, Dr. Scott Martin (my vocal coach), John Mays (Centricity Records A&R), Tim Phillips
Speakers: Joshua Harris, Elisabeth Elliot, Eric Ludy, Max Lucado, John Piper, Adrian Rogers, Les Beauchamp, all come to mind.
Other encouragement on my walk has come from: -"No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green" by Melody Green. This was the one Eric's sister gave to him before he got serious with God. I can't recommend it strongly enough if you haven't read it. It will change your life. -"Passion & Purity" & "Quest for Love" & really anything by Elisabeth Elliot. She is probably the single most influential author/speaker/role model in my Christian walk. -Eric & Leslie Ludy's ministry from when it started till now has blessed my walk SO much, and encouraged me to grow -a drama/mime/evangelist named Brian Randone - this man of God came to my church when I was 13, and the result of his utterly passionate, sold-out, surrendered life to the Lord was my re-commitment to Christ. -Rachel Joy Scott, martyr of the Columbine High School Tragedy was also instrumental in my early teen years, as I read her journals and testimony. Wow. She had a huge impact on my life in my boldness to LIVE OUT what I believed. -"Sister Freaks" by Rebecca St. James & "Hearts of Fire" by Voice of the Martyrs both are recent reads, and incredible books for Christian women - if you're looking for encouragement to live a surrendered life and what God can and WILL do with your living sacrifice... read these two. -John Piper's sermons and books have also been a HUGE blessing. www.desiringgod.org
