With weather in full frigid mode here in the Midwest, what better time than now to compile a reading list to enjoy from the comforts of your warm house and with a cup of hot tea in hand.
Anyone who knows me understands my love language is to recommend books. Want to learn something or challenge yourself? I’m your gal when it comes to book suggestions. Therefore, the following list is by no means exhaustive of all the good books I have read, let alone ones that are still on my “to be read” list. Hopefully though, this will at least get you started and stimulate your hunger.
One last note, this list is alphabetical based on book titles and is not a reflection of their order of importance or quality. Next to each title and author is a brief description provided by the publisher, as well as a link to purchase the book.
Wherever you choose to start, allow your mind to explore and be prepared to come away even more amazed by the awesomeness that is our God.
Happy reading!
