Posting here several of the books I’ve read this summer, along with a comment or two about them. Click the book photo for the Amazon link. Hope these are helpful!
“Principle of the Path: How to Get From Where You Are To Where You Want to Be,” by Andy Stanley -Direction, not intention determines destination. If I want to travel from Seattle to Los Angeles by car the best route is I-5. If I take I-90 eastbound, and sincerely want to go to Los Angeles, intend and believe I’m going to Los Angels, tell others I’m going to Los Angeles, I’ll still end up in Chicago eventually. Same is true in life, with our finances, with our relationships, and with our spiritual journeys. Great read.
“Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit,” by Francis Chan – Stimulating and thought provoking reading about the presence of the Holy Spirit within each believer, and how easy it is to live outside of His power, presence, guidance, comfort, etc. Helpful mini-biographies and specific direction provides insight into how we might reverse that neglect.
“Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God,” by Francis Chan -How amazing is God’s love for YOU? Read this book, and allow God’s Word and Francis’ insight bring healing, hope, forgiveness and a fresh sense of His love for you. Francis writes: “Do you recognize the foolishness of seeking fulfillment outside of Him? Do you understand that it’s impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender? Do you grasp the beauty and deep joy of walking in genuine intimacy with God, our holy Father and Friend? Do you want to see God more than you desire security?”
“The Power of a Whisper: Hearing God. Having the Guts To Respond.” by Bill Hybels -I’ve never met an ernest believer that did NOT want to know God’s will or to hear His voice when it concerns security, love, forgiveness, identity, guidance, comfort, and life purpose. This is an outstanding read with very practical guidelines that will help you cultivate and listen for the ‘whisper,’ discern the truth, and ultimately respond to it.
