Books are not only a source of knowledge but as christains they also help us to improve our spiritual lifee, as we learn from the christain journey of others and from thier experiences know how to handle issues that come our way....here are spme christain books that we should read;
1) Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Missionary Sarah Young shares uniquely inspired spiritual insight in memorable, thought-provoking daily devotionals. Jesus Calling is written from Jesus' point of view in a touching first-person format that enables readers to experience the Savior speaking directly to them through scripture.
"It felt a little awkward the first time I tried it, but I did receive a short message. The content was biblical, and it addressed themes that were current in my life: trust, fear, and closeness to God. I responded by writing in my journal as usual; at that point my journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. Day by day, messages began to flow more freely." – Sarah Young, on beginning a "dialogue" with God
2. Wild at Heart by John Eldredge
A writer, a philosopher, a motivational speaker, an outdoorsman, but most of all, an intense and intent man who is unashamed to be called a Christian who is fiercely adventurous and an outside-of-the-box thinker, John Eldredge is unflinchingly honest about men, women, the heart, and the Church--all in the name of recovering lost souls to new life in Christ. In one of his best books, Wild at Heart, Eldredge speaks to the hearts of men, in particular.
“Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts... It is undeniable... An authentic man is, therefore, a man who is living with strength and courage and offering his strength on behalf of others. It is not about selfishness.” – John Eldredge
3. The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman
“Once you identify and learn to speak your spouse’s primary love language, I believe that you will have discovered the key to a long-lasting, loving marriage. Love need not evaporate after the wedding, but in order to keep it alive most of us will have to put forth the effort to learn a secondary love language.
"We cannot rely on our native tongue if our spouse does not understand it. If we want him/her to feel the love we are trying to communicate, we must express it in his or her primary love language.” – Dr. Gary Chapman
4. The Love Dare by Stephen and Alex Kendrick
It is safe to say that The Love Dare, a book derived from the highly successful movie, Fireproof, has had a tremendous impact on marriages far and wide. Marriages have been saved, lives have been strengthened, and a marriage movement has begun.
"We opened The Love Dare with a concept in the introduction that you must determine to lead your heart, not follow your heart. If you are following your heart, something else or someone else is leading it. Scripture says to guard your heart with all diligence. It says that where your treasure is, there your heart is also." – Alex Kendrick
5. Her Mother’s Hope by Francine Rivers
The first part of a two-book saga, Her Mother’s Hope is an incredible story about the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters. At the turn of the 20th century, Marta journeys through Europe, ending up in California with a husband and children. Oldest daughter Hilde inherits her mother’s desire to find her calling and does as a nurse. During the trying times of WWII, Hilde marries and starts a family of her own. She wants her daughter to never doubt her love, but life conspires against her. Each woman must weigh the importance of their desires as they seek God’s guidance in the family.
"I want to whet the appetite for the real thing: the Bible and a personal relationship with Jesus. I try to weave Scripture throughout the story so people receive the Word and see what it might mean in their lives – how the Lord is present and real and passionately interested in each of us. He is not an idea. He is real, all-powerful, all-knowing, the embodiment of love, deeply involved in our existence, and He created each of us for a purpose." – Francine Rivers, on her mission as a Christian writer ----this is one book i am personally in love with and her other books like leota's garden and reedeeming love are definitely christain literatures to read!!!
