Image Journal’s 100 Writers of Faith list, which contains only one book per author, only references creative writing, consists of works published in the 20th century, and the works must “manifest a genuine engagement with the Judeo-Christian heritage of faith.”

Here’s the list: (bolding if I’ve read it, italicizing if it’s toward the top of my to-read list; and I put an alternate book by the same author behind (they only allowed one book/author) if I’ve read another book and liked it. I also have *starred the names of those I own. I’m linking to my brief reviews of books as I finish them, as well. Here’s my initial post about the list.
