Dallas Willard

HarperOne, 1991

Excellent Challenge for Those Who Want a Deeper Spiritual Walk With God
"The Spirit of the Disciplines" focuses on the various disciplines that God uses to change people's lives. The book contains 11 chapters and 2 appendix for a total of around 265 pages. Each of the 11 chapters addresses a particular theme. Chapter 9, addressing the specific disciplines, is my personal favorite. According to Willard in Chapter 9, the disciplines are separated into 2 groups: ...

The Normal Christian Life

Watchman Nee

Tyndale House Publishers, 1977

Now I See
When I was 9 years old I got my first pair of glasses and was amazed by the detail and clarity of my new vision. What was once green blobs atop brown cylinders became gorgeous, complex trees in their full, leafy glory. In a similar way, thanks to Nee, I see the details and wholeness of God's greatest gift to us, His Son. Watchman Nee makes Paul's Letter to the Romans accessible and ...

Rediscovering the Kingdom

Destiny Image Publishers, 2004

Rediscovering the Kingdom
This book was recomended to me by a friend whose opinion I respect very much. I'm just in the first chapter so far. This is one of those books you have to read slowly. If the book answeres all the questions that just the introduction raises for me, I know it will be worth far more than I paid for it.

Richard J. Foster

HarperOne, 1992

Fantastic!
One of the best books on prayer I've ever read. He's very rooted in Scripture and yet very thorough in His observations on how we, as humans, interact with God. It continues to challenge me as I read through each new chapter. Highly recommended!

Beth Moore

B&H Publishing Group, 2000

breaking free with a break through!!
Don't you just love Beth Moore?!? What an inspiration Beth is to ALL Christian women across this world. God has used Beth in such an awesome manner - don't you wonder what it's costing her? To whom much is given, much is required. This book flows just like her Bible study with the same title. This book will help you to find areas in your life where you are being held back and weren't even ...

Knowing God

77 reviews
J. I. Packer

InterVarsity Press, 1993

Essential Theology
I have bought more than fifty copies of Knowing God for use in teaching the subject. Packer does an excellent job of helping us to have a relationship with the God of the universe rather than just knowing something about Him. I have never found another book that does as good a job of teaching meaningful theology to people who really want to know God.

God Alone Suffices

S. C. Biela

In the Arms of Mary Foundation, 2003

PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!
God Alone Suffices is a book that everyone longing to deepen his/her relationship with God will want to read. The author "contextualizes" the "eternal" spirituality of John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Lisieux, making their teachings accessible to all who live in the 21st century. Our human tendency to create "illusory reliances" (material, psychological and spiritual), the ways ...

Grace Walk: What You've Always Wanted in the Christian Life

29 reviews
Steve McVey

Harvest House Publishers, 2005

This one book makes all the difference!
This book taught me how to let the Lord drive my life. Right from the start it helped to redirect that "Oh! I gotta DO SOMETHING!" energy and refocused it into learning about the Lord wants me to do. It taught me about listening to the Lord, trusting in the Lord, and even about recognize some of the devil's tricks. It's an excellent book for the Christian who feels that God loves them MORE if ...

Introduction to the Devout Life

Francis De Sales

Vintage, 2002

Truly a useful introduction!
I sought out this book on the advice of a priest and was not expecting the book to as useful as it was! I was immediately drawn into the book as it explained how a devotional life can be integrated into any state of life. I especially was thankful of the effort de Sales puts into explaining what is proper for one to do according to their vocation in life. Though I am Catholic, a Pentecostal ...

Complete Green Letters, The

28 reviews
Miles J. Stanford

Zondervan, 1984

A Guide to Being IN Christ
The Complete Green Letters gives us as believers a clear roadmap to reach our sanctification destination "In Christ". As with Watchman Nee (The Normal Christian Life), Miles Stanford sees the importance of what God stated through the Apostle Paul in Galatians 2:20, "It is no longer I, but Christ." This knowledge is sorely lacking in many evangelical churches today, and is a timeless pearl that ...

When People Are Big and God Is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Resources ...

24 reviews
Edward T. Welch

P & R Publishing, 1997

Psychology Done The Biblical Way
This book presents the regretful truth of fallen man. 'Therefore we cannot rightly say, 'My God is not a God of judgment and anger; my God is a God of love.' Such thinking makes it almost impossible to grow in the fear of the Lord. It suggests that sin only saddens God rather than offends Him.' pg 103 'There was a time in my own life when I would practice the presence of God; then, when I ...

Me and My Big Mouth: Your Answer Is Right Under Your Nose

28 reviews
Joyce Meyer

Harrison House, 1996

A Must Read
There are few books that I have read more than once, and this is one that merits not only reading more than once, but in having it on hand for a constant reminder. It could not have had a more appropriate title. It catches the eye then captures the heart and soul of anyone who feels (or can fianally admit..because many of us do) they have a problem with their mouth. It also gives them hope that ...

Seeking Him: Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival

Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Tim Grissom

Moody Publishers, 2004

Excellent and anointed study
We are currently doing Seeking Him in 2 small groups at our church. The second session we had a hard time getting the session started due to everyone wanting to share how they were impacted by the Holy Spirit this week through this study. Bible Study can't get any better than that! My prayer is that God speaks mightily to you through this study and that are able to put these truths into action ...
