My
struggle hasn’t been choosing which books I believe every Christian should
read. My struggle is trying to inspire
you to go read them! Here is my best
attempt. Outside of the Bible, no books
have changed my life in more important ways than these. I tried limiting to 5 but I just couldn’t do
it.
6)
RESTORED by Neil T Anderson. This book
leads you step by step through the process of dealing with spiritual baggage
and strongholds, bringing healing and freedom.
It details who we are in Christ and helps us live it. Remarkably helpful.
5)
DISCOVER YOUR GOD-GIVEN GIFTS by Don and Katie Fortune. Through this book I discovered who I was
created to be, my strengths and weaknesses, and how I can best fit into a
ministry opportunity. It’s also helped
me learn how to recognize and work with others with different gifts, and gives
me a clue into my husband’s and children’s gifts.
4)
HEAVEN by Randy Alcorn. Do you believe
Heaven will be a never-ending church service or floating around playing harps? WRONG!
This book has made me SO excited about eternity in Heaven and here on
the restored Earth.
3)
TOTAL FORGIVENESS by RT Kendall. One of the hardest things we are called to do is forgive. What is
true forgiveness, what is not, and how do we do it? This is a fantastic guide to freedom from
bitterness. Hugely important.
2)
DISAPPOINTMENT WITH GOD by Philip Yancey. THE most life-altering book I’ve read to date. Yancey answers “the three questions no one
asks aloud: Is God Unfair? Is God
Silent? Is God Hidden?” We ALL need to know these answers.
1) BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW by John Eldredge. The
subtitle is, “experiencing the playful, disruptive, extravagant personality of
Jesus.” This book is an absolute
revelation. THIS is Jesus—cunning,
kidding, love in action, a Jesus that I want to share with others.
And
I’ll add a quick plug for WILD AT HEART and CAPTIVATING, also by John
Eldredge. READ UP, MY FRIENDS! LEARN!
GROW! TRANSFORM!
