I posted a long list here back in 2013. A couple of them are now available in Logos, but most are still not. Some have been requested already on Feedbear. I've just added requests for the remaining ones, and here they all are for your voting pleasure.
VOTE HERE:
The Story of Christianity, Justo Gonzalez (volume 1 and volume 2 in the new edition, mentioned in a comment on that suggestion; it already has 33 votes, so rather than add a new suggestion, keep piling on votes there). This is an absolutely excellent book/set, and it was the textbook for my History of Christianity class at Regent College.
Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home (Richard Foster) -- a warm, compelling, and sensitive primer on prayer, helping us to understand, experience, and practice it in its many forms-from the simple prayer of beginning again to unceasing prayer. Logos has an audio edition of this but not ebook.
An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith (Barbara Brown Taylor) -- Barbara Brown Taylor continues her spiritual journey by building upon where she left off in Leaving Church...Taylor shares how she learned to find God beyond the church walls by embracing the sacred as a natural part of everyday life.
Gerald May, MD - Addiction and Grace -- a vote for this is also a vote for his The Dark Night of the Soul and Care of Mind, Care of Spirit, since someone grouped them all together in their request. A great trio of books.
Celtic Daily Prayer: Prayers and Readings from the Northumbria Community -- my all-time favorite prayer book. "Celtic Daily Prayer is the fruit of the spiritual life of a remarkable community. Its liturgies, prayers, and meditations are drawn from a deep well of spiritual experience that transcends fashion, culture, and denomination. Blending prayer and praise and building upon the ancient wisdom of traditional Celtic Christianity, this prayer book is extraordinarily fresh. At the heart of the life of the Northumbria Community, as well as this book, lies the Daily Office -- morning, noon, and evening prayers and a monthly cycle of meditations for individual or communal use each day. With words drawn from sources such as St. Patrick's Breastplate, Teresa's Bookmark, Columba's Blessing, and the Psalms, this cycle of daily prayers reflects the essential rhythms of life."
Answering God: The Psalms as Tools for Prayer (Eugene Peterson)
Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale (Frederick Buechner) -- A fresh, creative look at the underlying meaning of the Gospels that stresses the many dimensions of God's relationship to humanity.
Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith (Richard Foster) -- In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" –– the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. Foster examines the unique contributions of each of these traditions and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose lives defined each of these "streams."
Devotional Classics: Selected Readings for Individuals and Groups (Revised Edition) (Richard J. Foster & James Bryan Smith, editors) -- Devotional Classics: Revised Edition is an updated and expanded edition of Renovaré's companion to the devotional life.... [T]his version incorporates all six traditions, or "streams," that comprise a healthy and holistic life of Christian faith.

The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God (Dallas Willard) -- The Divine Conspiracy has revolutionized how we think about the true meaning of discipleship. In this classic, one of the most brilliant Christian thinkers of our times and author of the acclaimed The Spirit of Disciplines, Dallas Willard, skillfully weaves together biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice, revealing what it means to "apprentice" ourselves to Jesus. Using Jesus’s Sermon of the Mount as his foundation, Willard masterfully explores life-changing ways to experience and be guided by God on a daily basis, resulting in a more authentic and dynamic faith.
The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives (Dallas Willard) -- a classic

A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith (Brian McLaren) -- In this much anticipated book, McLaren examines ten questions facing today's church—questions about how to articulate the faith itself, the nature of its authority, who God is, whether we have to understand Jesus through only an ancient Greco-Roman lens, what exactly the good news is that the gospel proclaims, how we understand the church and all its varieties, why we are so preoccupied with sex, how we should think of the future and people from other faiths, and the most intimidating question of all: what do we do next? Here you will find a provocative and enticing introduction to the Christian faith of tomorrow.
Stages of Faith: The Psychology of Human Development and the Quest for Meaning (James W. Fowler) -- "The classic book on the subject of faith development....An extremely important work, integral to the understanding of the human condition and our sense of meaning."--M. Scott Peck

Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner -- Daily meditations taken from the works of an acclaimed novelist, essayist, and preacher who has articulated what he sees with a freshness and clarity and energy that hails our stultified imaginations.
AND TWO MORE THAN WEREN'T IN MY PREVIOUS LIST:
Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth (Richard Foster) -- Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith....Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God.
Freedom of Simplicity: Finding Harmony in a Complex World (Richard Foster) -- ...the manifesto that shows how simplicity is not merely having less stress and more leisure but an essential spiritual discipline for the health of our soul.
