If you would like to get the gist of some well-known, mostly current Christian books, check out Christian Book Summaries, which has maybe 30 summaries of books such as The Purpose-Driven Life, Boundaries in Marriage and What's So Amazing About Grace?
The summaries can be downloaded in very attractively laid-out pdf files, or you can read them online.
In view of Jim Beale's T-shirt
So many books,
so litle time
this site is a boon.
It is also helpful that you can read books that everyone's talking about, but about which you have reservations, without further increasing the author's bank balance.
Each summary is very well written, easy to follow and about 8 pages long.
But ... I'll still buy stuff!
The most valuable one I've read so far is the summary of
The Doctrines of Grace, by Boice and Ryken.
