Yearning: Living Between How It Is and How It Ought to Be Yearning is a "must read" for the person who is serious about living for God. One thing that stands out is his question: "Do we love God for who He is or for what He does for us?" Drink from the well of the author's compassionate wisdom. Read and re-read this book.

Are you a frustrated idealistic Christian?

This book "tells it like it is"--the author is incredibly honest about what the Christian life really looks like. I am at a point in my life where I see how Christian community really is and I long for something better. It's hard to reconcile the two---this book discusses this yearning, and doesn't necessarily give any nice neat solutions, but it is comforting to know that this is something that other Christians struggle with.
