This is, like all lists of this sort must be, both encouraging and maddening. What is not on here that should be?

'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world. (William Booth)

Pretty good list, though I can only say that about the books I've actually read. Hate that the Left Behind books are there, but they are indeed important to recent Evangelical history.
My list (not to be confused with books that would be on my personal top 50 list!):
A little surprised...
No John Maxwell?
No Ragamuffin Gospel?
Possible Honorable Mentions:
Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ
Ravi Zacharias
The Five Love Languages
Leonard Sweet
