Man of God: Leading Your Family by Allowing God to Lead You
It brought to light so many things I as a father need to be responsible for. It helped to clarify what God wants me to do as the leader of the household. And where I stand as his son. Great book. I would recommend it to any father/husband out there.
You don’t have to be perfect to be a man of God. As Dr. Charles Stanley writes, a man of God is a maturing man, a striving man, a knowledgeable man. And the first step in real manhood is spiritual rebirth.
In Man of God, Dr. Stanley asks and answers questions such as these:
What can we learn about manhood from Jesus’s example?
How does a true leader allow God to lead him?
Why is a godly man “both velvet and steel”?
What does it look like to be a provider?
What does it mean to lead with sensitivity?
Man of God will challenge and equip you to become a better leader, teacher, father, and husband. What makes a man? The answer starts here.
Includes study guide for individuals or groups.

Stuck in the Middle (Sister-to-Sister Book #1): A Novel
Loved it and if you love romantic books you will too. I also loved that it was a “Christian” book in that it was centered about this woman, her life, and how her relationship with God was helping to shape her life

What a beautiful, unique book! So many good tips–the easy jelly straining method is definitely easier than Grandma’s messy jelly drip bags!

Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship
This is one of the best books that John MacArthur has ever written. Everyone interested in World Evangelism must read this book.
What would God say
about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true
worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel
with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet
speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of
dollars?
The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground
for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a
movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an
unprecedented rate.
From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the
Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity
gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without
Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a
disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast
their heresies to every part of the world.
In Strange Fire,
bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history
behind the modern Charismatic movement. He lays out a chilling case for
rejecting its false prophets, speaking out against their errors, showing true
reverence to the Holy Spirit, and above all clinging to the Bible as the inerrant,
authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims
must be tested.

The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness was truly a joy to read as well as a reality check as it exposed the depths of pride in my heart. I read the whole thing in one sitting which is best but I encourage readers to read it all the way through several days in a row. The further you read the more the point becomes clear. Just when I thought I had an idea of what gospel-humility was I read this book and realized I still had no idea. This is a must read for any Christian living in the self-absorbed culture of our day that has crept its way into the pews of our churches and the seats of our homes.
This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He’s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep–rooted, life–altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to ‘make it’, the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self–forgetfulness.
In this short and punchy book, best–selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel–humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self–condemnation. A truly gospel–humble person is not a self–hating person or a self–loving person, but a self–forgetful person.
This freedom can be yours…

Written in a very personal tone, Hughes is able to encourage her audience toward godliness, with theologically sound concepts and practical suggestions for growth. This is a book that every woman from teenagers to seniors ought to read, either in personal study or with a small accountability group. Highly recommended.
Discipline.
For many of us, the word alone evokes dread. It’s not that we don’t want to be disciplined physically, mentally, and spiritually. The challenge seems too hard, and the motivation more about duty than desire. When it comes to our Christian walk, we don’t want to be legalistic and just follow some set of rules. That’s not what it’s all about, right?
Barbara Hughes answers with this encouraging reality: The true heart of spiritual discipline is a relationship with God. As you grow in that relationship, embracing your heavenly Father and his ways, you discover that discipline is your lifeline to him. It is how he gives meaningful shape to all the days of your life.
The “dread” of a disciplined life will be replaced with desire and anticipation as you find that there is no greater purpose than loving Him in every moment, every activity, and every thought. Using poignant stories and faithful reminders, Barbara opens her own heart to help you find the joy of full surrender. Her honest and encouraging look at the Word of God reveals the keys to living a truly godly life. And to strengthen your walk day to day, she offers hymns and praise psalms for your devotional times, a long list of recommended books that will lift your spirits, and Bible study helps to remind you that you’re not alone.

I really enjoy reading this book to my 5 and 7 year olds. They’re finally at an age where longer pages aren’t a hindrance, and Demi’s Columbus makes a nice compromise between verbosity and terseness. And the illustrations are simply wonderful. They remind me of the work Pauline Baynes did for J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Superficially simplistic, they reward careful consideration. Much is conveyed by subtle changes of line. But you can see all this for yourself clicking the book. The bottom line is, my two eldest children love it – that’s the source of the five stars.
Demi portrays Columbus as a great navigator and explorer, but she also provides a balanced view of his accomplishments, describing his enslavement of the native Taino Indians of Central America and his mismanagement of the colonies that he established in the Indies. Using Chinese paintbrushes and inks, gold overlays, and Italian marbled paper from Florence, Italy, she paints Columbus’s vast world with characteristic skill and beauty.

The Unrelenting Tide (Islands of Intrigue: San Juans – Christian Romantic Suspense)
This book kept me turning the virtual pages and wondering who Devynne should trust. Lynnette does a great job of interweaving the suspense with the tentative romance that slowly blossoms between Devynne and Carcen. This is a couple with much at stake, and the uncertainty of their relationship adds to the tension of Devynne’s precarious situation. She doesn’t know the identity of her stalker. Who can she really trust?
Widowed former Hollywood actress Devynne Lang has been living a quiet life in the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest. For years, she’s hoped her fabricated death would keep her identity safe from the public, and more to the point, from the stalker who forced her into hiding. But strange things have been happening around her place and this time, with a daughter to protect, she can’t afford one mistake – even if it means letting Carcen Lang get close enough to help.
Carcen would do anything to protect his brother’s widow and her daughter. So when he discovers Devynne may be in danger, he vows to find the man responsible. But dead lead after dead lead frustrates and baffles. Until the unthinkable happens and he realizes the danger has been closer than either of them could have imagined.
…because lies always have a way of coming back to bite you.
