Recent reads I have really enjoyed, along with a few of my favorite passages:
Heaven, by Randy Alcorn
We have such a skewed view of heaven. This book conveys glimpses of the beauty of heaven and what it may be like when all things are truly made new!
Women of the Word, by Jen Wilkin
A quick read but a great outline for how to study God's Word. I loved the reminder that the Bible is a book about God, not about us.
Kisses from Katie, by Katie Davis
Such an encouraging story about a young woman who was faithful to the work God called her to, and is now being richly blessed for her obedience.
Counter Culture, by David Platt
Thought-provoking and timely. Reminders that Christians can't pick and choose on the issues--we are called to represent God in popular topics like human trafficking, and unpopular ones like abortion.
Gilead (and Lila), by Marilynne Robinson
I really enjoyed both of these novels. Robinson's style is slow and thoughtful and the stories are well-told and grasp at the spectrum of human emotion and thoughts about a life of faith.
