Stepping away from apologetics for a moment, I have to mention that I love the book Elements of Style by E.B. White. Only an English major would say that, I guess, but it really is a book that everyone should read.
Not only will White sharpen your writing, but his sharp style is so refreshing. Here's an example from his chapter on troublesome words:
"Prestigious. Often an adjective of last resort. It's in the dictionary, but that doesn't mean you have to use it."
