"What books have had the greatest impact on your Christian life? I am making a list for this year. I hope to read one a month that will challenge and deepen my walk with Him. Ready, Set, Go!"

At the recommendation of a high school classmate, last month I started reading Polishing God's Monuments by Jim Andrews. Tremendous impact on me. So, I'm hoping some of the above tomes will also have a positive impact on my walk with Him.
If anyone else has recommendations, please fire away!
Ooooh.! I love this! I didn't see your post on fb, but I am also reading a book a month. I shall read some of the books you've listen here:)
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorites are:
Undaunted by Christine Caine
Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick
So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore
Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer
I also just began Fashioned to Reign by the pastor of Bethel in Redding. It's super controversial, goes against most of what I've been taught, and yet I'm mulling it all over in my head and heart thinking it just *may* be absolutely right on. My whole theology may need to shift here shortly! You have quite the list already, but if you ever get around to it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Hope all is well with you. Think about you often!
Thanks for your list, Elisabeth! I've read "So Long Insecurity," but the others are new to me. I'll look into them. And I'll take a look at Fashioned to Reign, as well and let you know what I think. :-)
