Book recommendation?
Permalink  

I want to ask something on a postive note. In light of all my venting lately. which btw, thanks for a safe place to do so.

if you had to list the five best books/most helful books (besides the Bible) what would they be? I am wanting to buy some new stuff to sink my hungry hearts teeth into.

hmmm that is a great question! Looking forward to seeing the lists!

as for mine: I have one that really has been a huge blessing to me

Get Out of that Pit by Beth Moore

I am reading

Do You Think I am Beautiful? by Angela Thomas

So far this book is great. A friend of mine highly suggested it and ended up giving me her copy to read.

If I think of more I will list them later.

I have just read The Necessity of Prayer by E.M.Bounds (ONLINE FOR FREE....!!), this book has literally revamped my prayer life and given me a new impetus to develop my prayer life on a deeper level.  

As a MW, the best two books I read were Renewal on the Run and Sick and Tired of Being a Ministers Wife...

And then if reading for fun anything by Francine Rivers (when I want to be spiritual) or anything by Michelle Bowen when I want to laugh...

I just realized you asked for five books.  Geez, I was overwhelmed preparing for Unstoppable...and totally missed it... lol

In addition to Just Enough Light, I would recommend:

Breaking Intimidation by John Bevere

10 Lies the Church Tells Women by J. Lee Grady

Breaking Controlling Powers by Roberts Liardon

Streams in the Desert (Devotional Classic)

just for starters...

((hugs)) biggrinbiggrin

The books PD suggested I have read too and they will really help strengthen one who copastors as opposed to being a traditional pw.  But if you are a passive pw and it's because of fear....then those books will really encourage you to step out!  Overcome that lion of fear.

The last one noted, I haven't read but he was living the homosexual lifestyle while pastoring.  Many were shocked of that revelation.  I am assuming his book on breaking controlling powers deals with that, does it not? That would be an interesting read.
