    I met Nancy a few months ago for the first time and although I am definitely NOT a public crier, tears of gratitude flowed from my eyes as tried to express my thankfulness for the influence of her ministry and even more so the impact her life has had upon me.
    Almost 20 years ago my Mom got me her little booklet "Singled Out For Him." I own many of her books, but now at the age of 34 (and still single) that first little book is still a treasure to me. It is a reminder of the faithfulness of God in her life and also in mine.
    I know it's hard to limit yourself to just 10 books, but I'm surprised Leslie Ludy's "Authentic Beauty" or "Set Apart Femininity" didn't make your list. They were probably the most influential to me along with Harris' "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and anything and everything by Elisabeth Elliot. :)

    My favourite Christian book is None Like Him by Jen Wilkins...so often am I focused on me, me, me but this book reeeally brings GOD into focus, reading it I can't help but feel a sense of awe and have really begun to deepen my fear of the Lord, I highly recommend it! It's so grounded in God's Word and is targeted to women as well :)

      @kingdom-wf2kt Před 7 lety +2

      I was thinking something similar - I do read books like this on occasion - they're light and they're often encouraging, but they're not calling the reader deeper. Hope people will take a look at e.g. the writings of the Puritans or others who have written deeper looks into God, the Bible, truth....

  • @saphira087
    @saphira087 Před 7 lety

    One I would really recommend is called "Aunt Jane's Hero" By: Elizabeth Prentiss. This one's older, but o profound in how to view one's relationship with God, and significant others/spouses, tragedy, and how a mature Christian heart should look.

    • @laurak8346
      @laurak8346 Před 7 lety +8

      If you ask for forgiveness, God will forgive you. But don't get into the whole Catholic Church lie. They worship saints,Mary and angels. Just focus on God and ask him to show you the truth, fill you with the Holy Spirit and save you from your sin. And pray and read the Bible.„Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.“
      ‭‭John‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭God will help you because in the Bible he said:„“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.“
      ‭‭Luke‬ ‭11:9‬ ‭So if you truly look for him,he will let you find him. God bless you

      Laura J Catholics do not worship or pray to anyone besides God. We ask Mary and the saints to pray to God for us, as we would ask our friends and family. We believe they can play a role in helping us as they are closer to the Lord than we are. Catholics are Christians (in fact they were the first Christians) and we worship Christ the King.

    Why outside the Bible? Reading the Bible with some serious thinking is essential for everyone but especially for every Christian. The Bible is absolutely the best fiction work to read. If thinking while reading it you'll get some really amazing information that will transform your world view and help you...if you have a bit of common sense of course.

  • @apequestrian2066
    @apequestrian2066 Před 7 lety +2

    The two books I would suggest are "Love and Respect: the love she most desires, the respect he desperately needs" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and "The Peaceful Wife" by April Cassidy. They are good books for women who plan to get married or are married. I read them and found them helpful in my own life.
