So Many Books



I used to be a voracious reader--like 100 books a year voracious. I don't have the time to read like that anymore but I still enjoy my bibliophile side when I can grab a few moments of time.

I have compiled a list of books I would recommend from both my past and present reading. Don't be afraid to check back as I plan on adding new titles with my reading progress as well as linking to reviews once I write them. Also, this is not an exhaustive list. If you want specific recommendations feel free to ask! :)

Non-Fiction  
(Biographies listed separately)
Do Hard Things -- Alex and Brett Harris
His Chosen Bride -- Jennifer Lamp
Mere Christianity -- C.S. Lewis
Set Apart Femininity -- Leslie Ludy
Authentic Beauty -- Leslie Ludy
The Cross Centered Life -- C.J. Mahaney




*Christian books are in black, secular are in blue.


So many books, so little time.

Our Hearts--His Home

Let's just agree that I won't apologize for not posting regularly and you won't be offended by my lack of interaction on all your lovely blogs. Deal?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had the chance to attend a conference with my sister's church several weeks ago. During one session the teacher connected two Bible verses in a way that I had never before considered. Ephesians 3:17 says -- "That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith." When we move into a new house what do we do to make it "our home"? We take out old furniture and put in new. We tear down walls. We strip out old cabinets. Basically, we make the place look entirely different and we make it fit us. Can you imagine how awkward it would be to try and do that with the previous owners still there? They would be offended and fight every change we made. When we ask Christ to make His home in our hearts we cannot retain ownership. There are no roped off areas marked "No

Modesty: Is My Heart Really in the "Right Spot"?

  (I would recommend caution for young readers. This post is unusually gritty for me and may not be suitable for young minds.) It's a rare thing that I feel the need to add my two cents to a viral controversy but a recent influx of Facebook posts by some friends I once loved dearly has made me think a lot and you get to reap the benefits of this thinking! ;) The controversial issue I am speaking of is modesty.

My Safety Line in Depression

Image
I've mentioned in my most recent posts that I struggle with depression. This problem is not unique to me but I do fight with it more than your average Christian young woman. It all started when I was thirteen. An acquaintance came to visit our family for a week and become a good friend. When he left it suddenly occurred to me that he would never be coming back. We would never see him again. We would never laugh with him again. We would never have the chance to tease him again. (He actually left with plans to return soon but my premonition turned out correct--we never saw him again). At these thoughts my world tilted. I began noticing just how many friends dropped out of my life, older relatives died, etc. and over and over a question came to mind, "Is God really good?" There is not a more terrifying thing to doubt.
