Philip Yancy's book, What's So Amazing About Grace?, is a must read, especially for anyone who grew up in an evangelical church.

It is also a wonderful introduction to those who want to better understand what is at the heart of Christianity--why grace really is unique to the God of the Bible.
This book has affected my life probably more than any other book I've read. And the CD audiobook is an excellent means of "reading" it.
