hi brothers & sisters, I am really looking for inspiring books that
can help me spiritually. Just finished reading "Praying prayers that God answers-Michael Murphy".

Am itching to read more...God bless you & thanks.
 
Have you read Francis Chan's Crazy Love?

Any John Bevere or Lisa Bevere?

Any Max Lucado?

Those are some good authors. There are more of course.

If you want fiction, I have some great authors for you too. :0)
 
Oh thank you, no I haven't read any of them.
I do like real life experiences or relating to real life.
I will check on Amazon if the authors u listed have books on there.

Thank you very much.
 
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15

Dear lilyR

The best food for the soul is immersing yourself in His word and finding all the riches He has for us there.
It is such a blessing that many Christian authors are able to impart a word

Two books that I would recommend to you, because they are so spiritually challenging are:

Fiona Castle…….Living Simply
This book really challenged the way I live my life and where my Christian values really lay. Its an easy read, yet so though provoking

Brownslow North……Wilt Thou Go With This Man?
A great preacher in England, Scotland and Ireland during the 1859 revival

Also.... A Daily dose of Spurgeon…..online morning and evening readings.
A snippet from tonights reading

He (Jesus) showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus Himself sought to enrich others, He wrought in the quarry of Holy Scripture.

I pray you are blessed in all your reading and learn more of our beautiful Lord Jesus Christ

He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself....
Luke 24:27.

Living Beyond Your Feelings by Joyce Meyer is good.Answered Prayer(George Mueller) is also good.

I like Joyce meter and listened to her preach. Her daily quotes on twitter are inspiring to, although I've read her book...will make a list of what to read this year by God's grace.

Thank you.
 
A good book that I just started studying this week is called The Purple Book by Steve Murrell and Rice Brooks. It is a basic training and discipleship tool that we could all use to go through no matter how old we are in our walk with God.

Hi,
Anything by max lucado is good, recently I read biography of dietrich bonhoeffer, its very thick book but worth the effort, really good. Also anything by philip yancey.
Any of Joh Stott's books are edifying, deep but readable helping to to grow in Christ but keep reading the word of God, most important.
 
Do a google for a book called (cave of treasures) it is an apocrapha book that details creation and adam and eves expelled from paradise and the flood. best thing I ever read. it is free and can be read online.
 
Dear Sister lilyR

If you really need an amazing book. Get yourself "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee.

They say that this book is one of the most popular christain books ever written and I'm soon to find out, for I've ordered myself one. A few of my brothers and sisters recommended that book: "It truely helps you grow in our Lord Jesus Christ" they say.

If you google it, it may appear in a few different covers. Not sure if they are the same, but to avoid confusion, the cover of the book they recommend is light yellow with a sort of figure on what looks like a hour glass and on the side some curls and flowers in light gray.

Blessings

Here are some books i think are very exceptionally beneficial to spiritual growth and there free online books or free hard copies if you like by mail.

God's Spiritual House by T. Austin Sparks

The Stewardship Of The Mystery by T. Austin Sparks

These two are great books among more than a hundred books authored by T. Austin Sparks

Crucified Ones by Charles Elliot Newbold Jr

The Transcendent Seed Of Abraham by Charles Elliot Newbold Jr

These too are very good books and are also free online and hard copy.

Just send me a pm and I will give you the websites.
 
Dear Sister,
There are many books, with a lot of good, and some not so good that are available for you to read. Always, do this in prayer, and weighing whatever you do read, against the Word of God.

Here's a book that helped me deal with a troubling issue:

"God On Mute - Engaging the silence of unanswered prayer" by Pete Grieg

SLE
 
Although not all for new christians:

Vanya for die hard christians

Heavenly man by brother Yun

Most books about George Mueller

The hiding place by Corrie ten Boom highly recommended
