I love Miller's offbeat way of sharing the truth through stories and observations. (He doesn't speak "Christianese".) This book showed me and reminded me of whom Jesus is and was, not the version that was taught in Sunday School. Today's Christianity has missed the boat on some things and Miller reminds us of this. A timely, modern reminder not to be the ...             Devotional Classics: Revised Edition: Selected Readings for Individuals and Groups33 reviews Richard J. Foster HarperOne, 2005 Indepth discipleship This is a wonderful, thought provoking, action evoking devotional.

Devotional Classics is an excellent choice for intentional discipleship.             The Purpose-Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?1092 reviews Rick Warren Zondervan, 2002 Wonderful book First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What the book teachs is that serving God is our purpose. Another person said Rick Warren wrote this book just to make money, I guess he ...             Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community39 reviews Dietrich Bonhoeffer HarperOne, 1978 The Reality of Christian Fellowship This is a great little book, a classic that all Christians should read.

Whitney NavPress Publishing Group, 1991 Every Christian Should Be More Disciplined Few books have proven to be as practical to me as Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life. Donald Whitney writes with both precision and perspicuity. Even naming a large group of spiritual disciplines might prove difficult for many today. If you find yourself among the many who are eager to more effectively walk with Christ I heartily suggest obtaining this classic Navigators book. (my full ...             The Language of Letting Go (Hazelden Meditation Series)68 reviews Melody Beattie Hazelden, 1990 Taking Care of Ourselves A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations.

What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life. I've ...             Seven Sacred Pauses: Living Mindfully Through the Hours of the Day6 reviews Macrina Wiederkehr Ave Maria Press, 2008 Christianity through the day This is a gem of a prayer, and contmplative book.
