I have always loved reading – but just in the last few years have I truly fallen in love with good Christian books.
There are so many incredible books with wisdom on how to grow closer to God and truly reach your full potential in Him. There are so many incredible mentors we can learn from through reading a book. We must commit to going to God’s word over any author, but let’s not neglect the way God is moving through people to reach us and share truth with us.
Here are some of my go-tos:
1. This Present Darkness (Frank E. Peretti) – This book completely changed the way I look at spiritual warfare. It was through this book (even though it’s completely fictional) that my eyes were opened to the spiritual battle we face on a daily basis, that we can’t even see. This book showed me the power of prayer and how I must go to the Word and prayer as my first line of defense when it comes to spiritual attacks. Also – be ready to stay up late reading this one. I couldn’t put it down!
2. The Purpose Driven Life (Rick Warren) – This book was the very first book I read about God. It was a 40 day devotional that helped me get to know God from ground zero. I kid you not – I had no knowledge of who God was or how to truly center my life around my faith. This book broke it down so practically that it actually helped change my life completely, and start a whole new chapter with God.
3. Ruthless Elimination of Hurry (John Mark Comer) – I love how practical this book is, when it comes to bringing us back to rest and Sabbath. This book showed me that I am so much more than what I do. And that I don’t need to allow what I do or the successes and failures of my life to define me. I love how funny and practical this book is. I’m not kidding – I think I read this in a week! It will help you prioritize rest in your life and help you feel refreshed in Christ.
I just wrote my very first book, the Joy Of The In-Between, and I’m giving away some free bonuses if you pre-order!
I’m giving away a 10-part bonus bible study series on being in a waiting season, plus the first 30 devos of this book, when you pre-order my new book.
