    I love Corrie ten Boom’s The Hiding Place - I read that when I was a girl and it has meant so much to me. I’m also very interested in You’re not Enough and that’s okay. Some of those others I haven’t heard of but several sound interesting! Thanks for this video

    Thank you. I was looking for books to strengthen me as a Christian besides the bible...of course, is always number 1 but I want to expand my mind and my way of thinking even more. I want to be able to teach ppl things and grow even more. I want my mind as Holy, humble, meek, obedient, and have as much faith as anyone that is a pastor that has been a pastor for many years. I want to really be able to transform myself with books and knowledge. I do read the book of Jasher and I have the book of Enoch also. Thank you for this list. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

    I have read Allie Beth Stuckey's book, "you're not enough". I had read it, thinking I would read many points that I had already known or thought of. It was more challenging than I thought it would be.
    I have currently started "We Will Not Be Silenced" by Erwin W. Lutzer and "Faithfully Different" by Natasha Crain. I would highly recommend both in order to understanding what is happening in our world today. I would also recommend "Awake and Alive to Truth" by John L. Cooper, "Divided Nation" by Ken Ham, "Quick Answers to Social Issues" by Bryan Osborne and "Quick Answers to Tough Questions" by Bryan Osborne and Bodie Hodge.

    Looks like a great list of books, thanks for sharing! Some titles I am familiar with, but definitely a few that I wasn’t and will be adding to my list. I just heard someone else speaking highly of Murrays book on humility, so I need to check that out.
    Here are a few titles that I’ve found to be challenging/instructive/encouraging in my walk with Christ.
    Holiness - JC Ryle
    Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul - Octavius Winslow
    Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed - John Owen
    As a bonus book I’ll list Salvation in Full Color by Richard Owen Roberts. Actually, it’s edited by Roberts because the book is a collection of sermons by preachers from the period of the Great Awakening (could be some more difficult reading among them, but not all difficult, I think).
    I’m calling it a bonus book because I haven’t read it yet, I just got it. But I’ve been listening to a podcast that Media Gratiae produces which is going through it, and I’ve found it to be extremely helpful and enjoyable. Because of that I expect to really benefit from the book. Regardless, I highly recommend the series Salvation in Full Color from the podcast The Whole Counsel (hosted by John Snyder and Chuck Baggett). ua-cam.com/video/zEyUfsCGBZY/v-deo.html
    I had a hard time finding the book anywhere at first, but finally did find a link to this site that has it:
    www.rorbooks.com/index.php/product/salvation-in-full-color-twenty-sermons-by-great-awakening-preachers/

    Another Gospel? - Alisa childers

    I strongly recommend Calvin's A Little Book on the Christian Life and Spurgeon's Encouragement for the Depressed. Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by another Puritan author (Thomas Brooks) blew me away, too--it cuts deep and is still 100% relevant.

    I recommend a book by Rebecca Deng called "What They Meant For Evil." It would be great if you could review it on your channel! Rebecca was one of the first unaccompanied refugee children to enter the United States in 2000, after South Sudan's second civil war took the lives of most of her family, Rebecca's story begins in the late 1980s when, at the age of four, her village was attacked and she had to escape. The book made me look at Josephs story in Genesis in a new way. I ended up doing an interview with her for my channel.

    Best Christian book I ever read is “100 Ways God Speaks to You.” Also, Anything by Derek Prince, “Church Shift” by Sunday Adelaja, and “15 Secrets of Prayer Warriors” by Robert Avila. Read those, and by the time you’re done, you’ll have a revived, invigorated, exciting relationship with God and the way you view life.

Especially the John MacArthur book I really love his books and study bible! I'm pretty new to reading Christian nonfiction but The Truth War by John MacArthur really helped me and the devotional I'm currently reading is My Utmost for His highest by Oswald Chambers and it's so good! Very deep! I have to read it a couple times to fully understand it. It really makes you think! I definitely want to read more of Chambers. And Spurgeon! He has so many books! Lol

    Hi! So...a book that has challenged a specific facet of my faith is "God over Good" by Luke Norsworthy. It's a candid account about a young man (the author) who is (1) a pastor and (2) struggles with doubt and making sense of both God and the world. It's specifically geared toward Christians who find it difficult to reconcile their faith with their doubt(s), but broad enough for a wider audience. It's an easy read while still thought provoking--especially, if like me, you don't agree with something but cannot discredit his position on x because it's currently where he stands in his walk with the Lord (hope that makes sense). I'd recommend this to (1) its targeted audience and (2) Christians who are mature in their faith and able to agree and/or grapple with many of the things he tackles in this book. 4 out of 5 stars for me.

    I loved The Hiding Place when I read it. I believe it brought tears to my eyes (it’s very atypical for me to cry while reading unless the story is very moving).
    Also the series that has really helped me grow in my spiritual journey this past year is Left Behind: The Kids. I have yet to read the original Left Behind series but I do own them. Those books help put things in perspective and bring deep comfort since so many scary things our happening in our world.
