Here are this month’s recommendations of a recent release, a classic, and a powerful devotional. I hope you’ll be blessed by these books. And please let me know some of your current favorites as well. =)
Fiction – Wishing for Mistletoe by Robin Lee Hatcher
If you’re looking for a sweet Christmas story to cool you off this summer, I recommend this book! I loved that the main characters actually lived out their relationship with God daily–reading the Bible, praying, and submitting their wills to God. The plot is pretty basic, a burned-out writer meets a single dad in a small town. But I enjoyed the characters’ journeys of facing their fears and growing in their faith. And, of course, there’s a cute dog, a bakery, and a happily ever after. =)
Non-Fiction – How to Be a Christian without Being Religious by Fritz Ridenour
This book is a classic! I read it during college, and it’s still helpful today. If you or any friends aren’t sure how to share the gospel clearly, this book is a great help. It provides simple wording to explain how Christianity differs from religion, along with fun illustrations to help you remember the truths. For example: Religion is man reaching up to God, and Christianity is God reaching down to man. The focus is on how Christianity is a relationship with God, not a religion. I highly recommend this little book for anyone wanting to learn how to share the gospel more simply and effectively.
Devotional – Resilient Hope: 100 Devotions for Building Endurance in an Unpredictable World by Christine Caine
This book is appropriately titled. I’ve been encouraged and strengthened by these relevant devotions. Christine shares experiences from her own life and stories from biblical characters to illustrate practical truths that help us continue to run our race with our eyes on Jesus. Each chapter has a passage of Scripture, a devotion, and a closing prayer to help apply the truth shared. If you’ve been fighting discouragement or feeling weary, this devotional is a great help!
