To say I love to read would be an understatement. My home is overflowing with books. Here are a few of my favorite books that I read this year.
1. What Did You Expect by Paul Tripp
This book is the best marriage book I have ever read.
2. The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
This book changed my point of view on motherhood for the better.
3. War of Words by Paul Tripp
A must read if you have any interaction with humans, ever. ;)
4. Bringing up Boys by Dr. James Dobson
As a mother of boys I found this to be such a useful book.
5. Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Paul and Denver Moore
You MUST read this book. I read this book earlier this year and could not put this book down.
6. I Will Carry You by Angie Smith
For anyone that has lost a child this book is a must read.
7. Death by Love by Mark Driscoll
Mark writes letters to members of his congregation.
8. Crazy Love by Francis Chan
I technically read this when it first came out but I read it again this year.
9. Forgotten God by Francis Chan
Another great read
10. Breaking Free by Beth Moore
This isn't a book but a bible study. God will use this bible study to change your life!
great books! I've read a few of them on your list!
ReplyDeleteI'm at the end of my rope with a couple of things in my life... so amazing that you noted these particular books.
ReplyDeleteI did a Bible study on War of Words...it was awesome!!! really helped me watch my words......yikes!!! :) Merry Christmas friend!!! lots to be thankful for. Is it bad to be thankful for my Lola bag?? :) I AM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted this. I have heard good things about a couple of these books. Now I know which one I am going to go get. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, our family loves books too. Another great read is: Greater than Yourself, by Stever Farber.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I also read Crazy Love, Same Kind of Different... and I Will Carry You. Excellent books! I have been wanting to go back and read Crazy Love again. It shook me up, changed my perspective, but I feel myself slipping. I think I need a good reminder :) I have been wanting to read Bringing up Boys (I have two). Maybe that'll be next! Thanks for sharing your list, definitely want to check the others out.
ReplyDeleteI own the book "Bring up Boys"...got it at a thrift store when I was first married...Three girls later, still haven't read it. :)
ReplyDelete'Crazy Love' is on my list. Saw Francis Chan speak live at FOTF...amazing speaker!
Hadn't heard of the others on your list. I read mostly fiction, usually, so I tend to really space out my reading of these kinds of books!
Thanks for the list...you inspired me to write my own book post this evening. :)
Kids and I are actually going to the library this week and I am going to look for a few of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for sharing! I love to read, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have 2,5,6 and 8 and I have been wanting to order Dr. Dobson's book. Those others sound really good and they'll go next on my list!
Christianbook.com is having a HUGE sale right now so I'm going to see if any of these titles are on their sale list. :)
They sound like great books. I know my sister read Dr. Dobson's book. Carla
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of many of these. Thanks for passing them along, going to check them out now.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
