First of all "The Holy Bible", I prefer the NIV for reference, but "The Message" is an excellent paraphrase and is easy to read.
Secondly, "1984" by Orwell. I read it several years ago and had never imagined a world like that; and now I think I can see it approaching.
Finally, while not world changing, "The Foundation Trilogy" by Isaac Asimov may be the best science fiction I've ever read.
