  1. Wow! Just breezing through that list got me a little breathless. You’ve got some amazing books there. I think i’ll be referring this list whenever I am buying next.

    Btw – I also browsed through your playlist three days ago and we’ve been listening to Britt Nicole ever since 🙂

    • I love Britt Nicole (and many other Christian artists) 🙂 and I’m glad you had a chance to browse through my book list. (Good reminder for me to update it since it’s been a while) 😉

      Let me know if there are any good books that you recommend reading. I’m always looking for good books to read. 🙂

      • You inspired me to make a page of my book list on my blog page. 🙂 Check it out there and see if you can find anything. Just a quick recommendation: Philip Yancey’s “What So Amazing About Grace?” Faboo! 😉

    • I just read that one last month. I couldn’t put it down (literally). It’s different than some books I’ve read in the past but it’s really thought-provoking! I think you’d like it!

  2. I love your list! I’ll have to check out some of these! I did want to mention that you have the book ‘Kisses from Katie’ in your fiction list and it’s non-fiction (and a wonderful book, I agree!)

  3. Hey I love your list! I just wanted to say that a great one for teen ministry books is called sustainable youth ministry by Mark DeVrie. (:

    • Thank you so much for letting me know Emilie! There is a very limited amount of books out there focused only on teen or junior high ministry so I’m so happy that you recommended one, I’ll make sure to read it! 🙂

  4. I just read Soul Keeping by John Ortberg. It is a fabulous book. I love all his books anyway, but this one touched me to the core. I wish I could write with such charm and emotion without sounding like I’m using a language foreign to me. His books always strike a chord that’s literally like music your read into your soul.
