My Reading List

Recently Finished Books:

The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges
Living in the Light of Eternity by Stacy and Paula Rinehart
Sacred Singleness by Leslie Ludy
The Believer's Secret to Waiting on God by Andrew Murray

I highly recommend ALL of these books! The Pursuit of Holiness and Living in the Light of Eternity are classics, quick to read, and very powerful. I look forward to reading them again. Sacred Singleness is way too exciting to tell you about in one sentence, so I will save that for another post. And Waiting on God is so inspiring. God brought it to me just when I needed it, and it encouraged me in a thousand ways. I learned that "waiting on God" is not the means to get something we want, but a wonderful opportunity to get to know the Giver of all, a beautiful picture of the abiding life! I hope to read that one again more like a devotional. The chapters are short enough to read one each morning along with my usual page of My Utmost for His Highest.
If you have any questions about any of these books, or any of the books on my "favorites" list, feel free to ask!
I love to read books like these; in fact, these are the only type of book I read. God always uses books to teach me different things, leading me to just the right book at just the right time. I could tell you story after story about how God brought a book to me that "just so happened" to tie in perfectly with my current Bible reading and even the recent podcast I listened to. I'm always so amazed!
