By Cindi McMenamin. This book talks to women about their deep emotional needs and how to develop a relationship with Christ who can fill them.
By Margaret George. This is a powerful, fictionalized account of Mary’s life, from childhood to old age. I enjoyed getting insight into what it might have been like to be possessed by demons, healed, disowned by family and friends, and to be a disciple of Jesus.
By J. I. Packer (Intervarsity Press). Do you know God or do you just know about him? This is a great book to help you get to know God better (with the exception of one chapter which I found a bit on the legalistic side).
By Janet Pope (Moody). Scripture memorization – something we often feel we don’t have time to do. Or we think it’s just for kids. Janet Pope shows how it is a vital part of the Christian’s inner life, and how easy it can be. Once you read her book and try memorizing (whole books at a time!), you will want to make it part of your daily life for the rest of your life.
By Dallas Willard (Harper). This is a must-read, but not an easy read. Richard Foster, in the foreword, says the book is comprehensive, accessible, has great depth of insight and is written with great warmth. Willard helps us understand the meaning and purpose of human existence. A study guide is also available, written by Jan Johnson, Keith Matthews and Dallas Willard.
By Dallas Willard. This is a great book about having a two way relationship with God. About half way through, I realized I will need to read it again, and practice some of the journaling methods I learned in Luann Budd’s book for the second reading. Dallas Willard offers very down to earth observations and wisdom that every Christian needs to understand.
