In no particular order...

  • Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) 
  • The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)
  • The Knowledge of the Holy (A.W. Tozer)

I was able to find three of these books on Google Books for free! The Practice of the Presence of God, Abide in Christ, and How to Pray. If you have an e-reader you can download them through it as well.
