This is a list of books that I think you could benefit from reading.

1) The Bible, by God and assorted authors

It's a good read.

2) The Knights of Arrethtrae, by Chuck Black:

     1. Sir Kendrick, and the Castle of Bel Lion

     2. Sir Bentley, and the Holbrook Court

     3. Sir Dalton, and the Shadow Heart

     4. Lady Carliss, and the Waters of Moorue

     5. Sir Quinlan, and the Swords of Valor 

     6. Sir Rowan, and the Camerian Conquest

It takes place in a medieval fantasy kingdom, and is about the Knights of the Prince. While going through the series, I found that I liked each book better than the last.

2) The Kingdom Series, by chuck Black:

     1. Kingdoms Dawn

     2. Kingdoms Hope

     3. Kingdoms Edge

     4. Kingdoms Call

     5. Kingdoms Quest

     6. Kingdoms Reign

In the same world as The Knights of Arrethtrae, it's a series about how the Knights of the prince started, and some of their adventures. It's a Biblical allegory.

3) The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis:

     1. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

     2. Prince Caspian

     3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

     4. The Silver Chair

     5. The Horse and His Boy

     6. The Magicians Nephew

     7. The Last Battle

Excellent reads. Each of them an adventure worth taking.

4) The Wars of the Realm, by Chuck Black:

     1. Cloak of the Light

     2. Rise of the Fallen

     3. Light of the Last

Also excellent reads about a young man who goes through quite the adventure. It has to do with spiritual warfare. I was hooked on each of them. Very exiting.

5) This Present Darkness, and Piercing the Darkness, by Frank E. Perreti

Very exiting, well written, good plot... It has everything going for them. Great stories that also have to do spiritual warfare.

6) The Mark of the Lion, by Francine Rivers:

     1. A Voice in the Wind

     2. Echo in the Darkness

     3. As Sure as the Dawn

They take place in the Roman Empire, right after the Siege of Jerusalem, about a young Jewish slave girl, an autocratic Roman family, and a bitter, young, German gladiator. I love these books so much.  

7) The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien:

     1. The Fellowship of the Ring

     2. The Two Towers

     3. The Return of the King

No further discussion necessary.

8) The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien

Also, no further discussion necessary.

9) The Silmarillion, by J.R.R. Tolkien

Kind of confusing and hard to get through, but worth it in the end.

10) The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis

Its C.S. Lewis, guys. You should read it. It's written in letter form. An older demon writing letters to his young apprentice, Wormwood.  

11) The Wakefield Dynasty, by Gilbert Morris:

     1. Sword of Truth

     2. The Winds of God

     3. The Shield of Honor

     4. The Fields of Glory

     5. The Ramparts of Heaven

     6. The Song of Princes

     7. A Gathering of Eagles

Starting in the early 1500s and going all the way to the 1700s, great historical fiction following one family line.    

12) Sword Song, by Rosemary Sutcliff

A book about a young Viking who got banished from his home and spends the rest of the book finding his place in the world and stuff like that. It's good.  

13) The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff

About a Centurion in Britain who, after an injury that prevented him from continuing his military career, took up the quest to retrieve the lost Eagle of his father's legion. Excellently written with a good handling of the English language.

14) The Shining Company, by Rosemary Sutcliff

Good stuff going on. It's about a young man helping with this expedition thing or something. It's Medieval.

15) The Prairie Winds, by Stephanie Grace Whitson:

     1. Walks the Fire

     2. Soaring Eagle

     3. Red Bird

Wonderful books set in the 1800s about Nebraska territory. I don't​ really know how to explain the plot :P but they have to do with American Indians, Christianity, evangelizing, and all that good stuff. :)

16) The Dakota Moons, by Stephanie Grace Whitson:

     1. Valley of the Shadow

     2. Edge of the Wilderness

     3. Heart of the Sandhills

Also wonderful books. They take place in the 1800s and are about a young woman who is half Dakota and half White, and her struggles and misadventures and realizations and stuff.

17) The Pine Ridge Portraits, by Stephanie Grace Whitson:

     1. Secrets on the Wind

     2. Watchers on the Hill

     3. Footprints on the Horizon

Been a long time since I've read them. I just remember they were really good.

18) Men of Iron, by Howard Pyle

Book about a young man's journey to become a knight.

19) Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle

It's Robin Hood. Can't go wrong with that.

20) The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak

Good, yet sad read about a young girl in Germany during WWII

21) Kristin Lavransdatter, by Sigrid Undset:

     1. The Bridal Wreath

     2. The Mistress of Husaby*

     3. The Cross*

My sister described them to me like LOTR without the elves and dwarves and one ring... and in writing style, yes. Plot, no. They're books about a Norwegian woman in the middle ages.  

22) A Girl of the Limberlost, by Gene Stratton-Porter

A rags to riches kind of story.

23) Freckles*, by Gene Stratton-Porter

A book about a Scottish guy with only one arm, who's job it is to make sure no thieves come to steal lumber from this company. There's other stuff to, but I never finished it.

23) Chinese Cinderella, by Adeline Yen Mah

A true story about a Chinese girl in 1930s/40s/50s (somewhere around there) who was unwanted. It's a really bittersweet story and I cried twice while reading it, which is unusual for me.  

25) Hiroshima, by John Hersey

An excellent book about the Hiroshima bombing.

26) Burning Sky, by Lori Benton

A book about a woman making a life for herself on her family's abandoned farm after captivity by American Indians. Takes place like right before the revolutionary war. (Or maybe it was after. I don't remember.)

27) The Woods Edge, and A Flight of Arrows, by Lori Benton

I think they're called 'The Pathfinders', but I'm not sure. They're good books about a guy who kidnapped a baby and raised him as his own. Later, the truth came out about the baby's true parentage and everything went downhill. That's my description of it, you might find it to be slightly different if you read it. It takes place right after the French and Indian war.

28) The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall

An exciting read about a civilization of little people (they're like hobbits, but they're not) called Minnipins,  who have forgotten what a great people they once where. When faced with their old enemy, only a few brave Minnipins can truly help with in this cause. It's really good.

29) Hittite Warrior, by Joanne Williamson

Decidedly one of the best historical fictions I've ever read, it's set in the time of Deborah, the great judge of Israel, and is about a young Hittite warrior who is forced to run away from his home and ends up in the city of Tyre. But then has to run away from Tyre also, as he helped in a great sacrilege against Moloch, the brutal pagan god. It also*could be considered a spoiler*contains one of the THE BIGGEST plot twists I have ever read. I'm just reading, it's starting get a little intense, and then of a sudden... SIIIIIIIKKKE YOOOOOOO!!!!!!
It's a great book and very well written. The characters are great. :)

40) Moccasin Trail, by Eloise Jarvis McGraw

About a young man who returns to a family he hasn't seen since he ran away eight years previous, and after six years living with Crow Indians. A great story about a clash of cultures, belonging, and all that cool stuff. :)

I will add more as I read, discover, and remember good books.

* I have not read all of this book, but I liked what I did read.
