April 2022

As promised, here I am with a current list of great books to share with you. A lot of these are ones that I have read within the last year. Each have inspired, challenged, and encouraged me in my walk with Christ.

First, I want to encourage you. I used to think I didn’t have time to read. I have little kids, we homeschool, and there’s ALWAYS something needing to be done around my house (understatement). I really wanted to change this thought process in my mind, because I really did desire to read. I decided to stop making excuses. How many hours had I spent scrolling my phone in a day?

That being said, I have chosen to take small, 10-15 minute bits here and there to read books that spur me on towards growth. So you can do this! Don’t feel like you have to set aside 2 hours to really read. It’s amazing how quickly you can read an entire book by little increments of time.

For now, I’m just going to list a bunch, but I do intend to write a couple book review posts with my personal take-aways from some of these titles.
