What do you mean 1 1/2 books?

Obviously, "Chosen by God" is heavily influenced by the Bible, and thus your two books aren't different viewpoints. And thus you appear a man of 1 book, which even the theologian Aquinas warned against. If you can only respond with 2 books (1 being the Bible and another a book about the Bible) when asked about influential literature, then you don't exactly come across as a person who takes searching for the truth or expanding their knowledge veryt seriously. Have you found your book of myths that suits your lifestyle, so why bother for more?

wow. you couldn't be more offbase. the bible is a collection of poetry, narrative, history, songs, prayers, prophecy, and parable written by many different authors over a rather large span of time (in relation to the span of human history). Sproul's book is a spiritual self-help devotional written by one author in the last 100 years. although both are related, and cover some of the same concepts from assumedly the same perspective, neither one implies the content of the other completely. the scope of both extends outside that of the other, to a significant degree.
