List (1) : 15 Authors

* Blog Project, 2014 : List of 'not the least'

The Rule: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don't have to be listed in order of relevance to you. 

As an additional rule, I also included their corresponding book/work that have influenced me. To note, these are my choicest. If some of these interests you, I encourage you to grab a copy and read them, too.  :)

1. Francine Rivers (Redeeming Love)
2. Thomas Dexter Jakes (The Lady, Her Lover & Her Lord)
3. Max Lucado (In The Grip Of Grace)
4. Bill Wilson (Whose Child Is This?)
5. Joseph Prince (Destined to Reign)
6. Charles R. Swindoll (Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life)
7. Korv Essek William Kenyon (The Blood Covenant)
8. Arlene J. Chai (The Last Time I Saw Mother)
9. John Stott (Basic Christianity)
10. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)
11. Lettie Burd Cowman (Streams in the Desert)
12. Hope Edelman (Motherless Daughters)
