# Writers on the Classics

[![Englewood Review of Books](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/screenshot_67-300x84.jpg)](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/)Chris Smith, the editor of [Englewood Review of Books](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/), has challenged us all to read more classics this year.

To give us suggestions, Smith has asked a number of writers to give suggestions of classics that are worth reading.  I posted about the [first two](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/shane-claiborne-writers-on-the-classics-1/) of [these lists]( http://erb.kingdomnow.org/karen-swallow-prior-writers-on-the-classics-2/), but more suggestions have been posted.  Here are the links to four more authors’ suggestions:

[Scott Russell Sanders](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/scott-russell-sanders-%E2%80%93-writers-on-the-classics-3/), [Jonathan Wilson-Hargrove](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/jonathan-wilson-hartgrove-writers-on-the-classics-4/), [Ragan Sutterfield](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/ragan-sutterfield-writers-on-the-classics-5/) and [Chris Smith](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/chris-smith-writers-on-the-classics-6/)

One of the nice features of the kindle is that almost all of these suggestions are free (and there are links to kindle versions).

One of the readers of ERB also put together his own [list of 20th Century Spiritual Classics](http://www.rdhudgens.net/2013/02/my-short-list-of-20th-century-spiritual.html)
