Reading is the foundation for writing.  Below are my reviews of some books which have been influential to me with links to them.
The One and the Many
by Rousas John  Rushdoony

This book has been most important in developing my philosophy as a Christian.  Rushdoony shows how human philosophy always struggles with the problem of which is ultimate, the unifying "one" or the liberating "many." 
This philosophical issue lies at the root of such issues as the individual versus the state, the individual versus marriage, and anarchy versus tyranny. 
Rushdoony shows that principled, unaided human reason can only lead to one extreme or the other.  Balanced positions must be pragmatic or emotionally based.  This means unaided human reason cannot get to right answers.
Rushdoony finds the solution in the triune God of Christianity, where both the "oneness" and "threeness" of the trinity are "equally ultimate."  In the triune God of the Bible we have a "concrete universal," as opposed to an abstract universal.  Dependent human thinking based on divine revelation is both possible and valid.
The introductory chapter of this book lays this all out.  The subsequent chapters expound on this view by examining its outworking in human history, including Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, and modern philosophies.  No Christian should venture into the lions den of the modern university without at least reading the first chapter.
The Great Siege: Malta 1565
by Ernle Bradford

The Great Siege is the story of the siege of Malta by the Turkish Ottoman Empire and the island's defense by the Knights of St. John.  The knights were led by one John Parisot de la Valette, a most remarkable leader.  The successful resistance to this siege helped stop the spread of Islam into Europe.  The pivotal role played by this small band of men is a great character study.
The Terrible Hours: The Greatest Submarine Rescue in History
by Peter Maas

This is the story of the rescue of the crew of the sunken submarine Squalas in the years immediately before WWII.  It is also the story of the architect of that rescue, "Swede" Momsen.  Virtually unknown today, Momsen was a true hero.  His development of submarine rescue diving bell technology and the submarine escape breathing apparatus involved engineering expertise, physical courage in testing things on himself, and political courage in going against Navy bureaucracy to get things done.  He also solved the Navy's torpedo problem at the beginning of WWII, fixed the Navy's postal system, and designed the "Albacore hull” used by nuclear submarines today.  It is a character study in a truly great man.
Beyond Creation Science
by Timothy Martin and Jeffrey Vaughn PhD

This book by conservative Bible believing Christians provides arguments for an old earth, local flood, and preterism, all based on what they call Covenant theology as opposed to Dispensational Theology which is popular among modern evangelicals.  Their chief point: the Bible is the story of God's dealings and relationships with His covenant people, not a general scientific description of history.  I don't necessarily accept everything they say, but it is worth a read.
Evidence of the Afterlife
by Jeffrey Long, MD

This book details the extensive investigation of Near Death Experiences (NDE) of hundreds of people from all over the world.  Dr. Long documents how these experiences have many things in common and lack scientific or materialistic explanation.  People with no pulse and no brain waves have lucid Out of Body Experiences (OBE), accurately recount what they saw in the operating room and even what they saw some distance away, commonly meet deceased relatives, and have long lasting changes to their lives.  Dr. Long argues that this constitutes scientific evidence for the reality of an afterlife and of the fact that we are both spiritual and physical beings.  Though he takes a universalist/spiritualist rather than Christian perspective, the information is compelling.
Power Hungry
by Robert Bryce

Robert Bryce, author of "Gusher of Lies", which debunks the idea of energy independence, exposes the myths of "green power."  He shows how much land solar and wind farms consume relative to other power sources, and how the other sources are needed anyway for when solar and wind are unavailable.  Bryce points out that "commerce is transportation, and transportation is oil."  So there is no getting over our so-called addition to oil any time soon.  He tells the little know story of shale gas, the extraction of which has become economic in the last few years, and which has increased US gas supplies by a factor as high as five.  Bryce takes an agnostic position with respect to global warming.  He just thinks solar cells and windmills can provide no more than a supplemental contribution to CO2 reduction.  His proposed pathway is "N2N," meaning use natural gas now as a bridge to a nuclear future.
