    The Purpose Driven Life completely changed my life 😭 it’s the reason why I’m growing spiritually & I love the fact that it’s practical.

    I’m adding the sacred marriage although I’m not even in a relationship 🤣.

    Dr. Myles Munroe was truly one of the most prolific and greatest teachers of our time! His sermons/books have truly impacted my walk with Christ and my life as a Kingdom citizen here on earth! God Bless!

    Sacred marriage changed my life and marriage. This year is our 9th year married and I wish I had that book in the beginning of my marriage.

  • @iheartjaida
    @iheartjaida 3 роки тому +42

    This is so good! Gary Thomas also has a book called "The Sacred Search" (its like a prequel to the sacred marriage) and it has CHANGED my outlook and perception of marriage and dating/"finding the one". Highly recommend for anyone that's currently single and looking to marry.
    Also recommend "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" by Pete Scazerro. Great book on the importance of being emotionally healthy in your Christian walk, and how it immensely impacts and benefits your spiritual life as well.
    Those are my few suggestions 😄

    The WAIT by Megan Good and Franklin was life changing and really helped me to remain celibate, Holy and pure before the Lord.

    • @harleighstringer
      @harleighstringer 3 роки тому +2

      wait! i just realized she "waited" in think like a man (obviously not until marriage) and then she waited in her marriage in real life. i wonder if that was on purpose haha.

    • @KJKP
      @KJKP 2 роки тому +3

      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.

  • @rosejohnson5974
    @rosejohnson5974 3 роки тому +12

    I love Gifted Hands Ben Carson.
    I cried when I read it. I have learnt that with God all things are possible. We must not give up. Whe we put God first
    He will work things out. We should speak life over our family.

    “The Bait of Satan” SOOOO good and eye opening. I’m also enjoying The Bible Study. I’ve never read the entire Bible before from Genesis to Revelations and these books help. The Bible is so good!

    A really good book that I’ve read is called “The Butterfly and the Violin” it’s a story about a woman looking for a specific painting, it’s original. And the story that’s behind that painting is based off of when the Holocaust started. Such a godly and faith based book. It’s REALLY good!

  • @spat727

    Will be checking some of these out after I read The Circle Maker Praying Circles around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest fears. So excited to get deep into this book. My sister recommended it to me. Read the first two chapters and was inspired. I realized today that my dreams and goals do scare me to the point where I shut them down and keep on with life. That's changing for me though.

  • @Oluwadamilola.

    Just added this to my book list!! My goal is to read 100 books (50 fiction & 50 none fiction). Last year I read 71 books without even trying. I loved the Christian book "Single, Dating, Engaged, Married: Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age" by: Ben Stuart.

    • @happyvictory6205

      Kekeya, Pilgrims Progress was such a hard read, but so me in so many ways. Didnt get to finish it. I'm reading Inside Out by Larry Crab, another hard read, but so true to life!

  • @alyssmainwaring9342

      A few years ago, I was blessed to read their book. I can also recommend it. Also, a Minister-writer-Author myself, I'd love to submit, One of my own. "While Stars Dance! Love Endures ~Shielded in Armour! by Kathy JoyM. "Some call it, "Serendipity," but me, "Predestined Purpose with a Challenge!" Be Blessed.

  • @nellybtheartist
    @nellybtheartist Рік тому +1

    On the Other Side of the Garden of Eden by Virginia Ruth Fugate is literally the most eye-opening book I have read thus far. This woman truly breaks down the naturally manifesting effects of “the fall” and why it is extremely vital to our existence to live a lifestyle of biblical womanhood. I highly recommend for ALL women, single or married. Her husband also wrote what I guess you can call a “manhood” version (haven’t read myself), which I’m sure would be life-changing for couples to read side-by-side.

  • @harleighstringer

    Beautiful recommendations! Thank you for sharing. I recently read "Woman Evolve" by Sarah Jakes Roberts and it was truly impactful. She uses the biblical example of Eve to reveal parts of ourselves, and how we should flip the narrative from blame to understanding because we've all been Eve, yet can still evolve.🙏🏾😇💜❤

This book is like a whole therapy session 😅.

Otherwise it really opened my eyes to the same things you described. I’m definitely going to read the African American historical fiction book. I love historical fiction. I typically go for WWII historical fiction but I’m very interested in the book you mentioned! Love this video

Disciplines of a Godly Woman (Barbara Hughes) is a multifaceted treasure 📕

    One of my favorite Christian books is How to make life work by Michelle McKinney Hammon. It’s a great book for new Christians!
