I love books. I love the feeling of peace and joy I get whenever I’m reading.
And besides, through Hosea God warns,“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
The ESV Study Bible writes the following: “Biblical “wisdom” as a skill in the art of godly living, that orientation which allows one to live in harmonious accord with God’s ordering of the world.”
I desire to live in harmonious accord with God’s ordering of the world. And with that being said, I thought I would share some of the books I have had the privilege to read since I fell in love with reading.
Devotionals
This devotional is like no other devotional I ever read. It’s so rich and full of wisdom. Not a day that I read it that I don’t feel challenged. So blessed by this devotional.
This devotional has comforted and encouraged my heart for three years now. I know for sure that I will forever treasure this and always come back to it. Life is hard but our Savior is ever close.

The Prayer Life: Persevering in Prayer
By the sheer grace of God, last year, in 2019, I fell really, really in love with God through prayer. What a wild grace that God invites us to know Him deeper through communing with Him through prayer. This book was recommended by one of my favorite pastor; I am just thankful to finally be able to get my hands on this. Praying to see more of God through this book.
A Long Obedience in the Same Direction : Discipleship in an Instant Society
I read my first book by Peterson last summer and I absolutely loved his style of writing and teaching the Word. After finishing that book I made a mental note that I will read most of his books if not all of them. Overly ambitious? Maybe.

I really appreciate this post. I’ve been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You have made my day! Thank you again!
Just about all of what you state is supprisingly legitimate and that makes me wonder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light previously. This piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. Nonetheless at this time there is one issue I am not necessarily too comfortable with so while I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your point, permit me see what the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Very well done.
Thank you so much!
