A few years ago I got a sweatshirt (Free – but that’s a whole ‘nother story!) that says “So Many Books – So Little Time” on the front. It’s my favorite! I wear it far too often! 🙂 But it summarizes my life on a couple of different levels.

First of all, if I had time and money to do so, I would write every day – all day. There are so many books in my mind that I would probably need to write, well . . . every day, all day! Perhaps blogging has been a “band-aid” for this wish!

Secondly, I love to read! Again, I would probably be quite content if I could read, read, read for the majority of the day! Books contain wisdom from those who have lived through what I may be about to face, what I currently am living through, or what I just made it through! Authors serve as advisers, counselors, trainers, teachers, and even friends.

In fact, a book itself is like a friend. Therefore, it must be chosen carefully for it will influence you, and will walk with you through your day!

This is one reason I love getting book recommendations from people I trust! I have no time in my life to read books written by truth twisters or those who have their own agenda when it comes to spiritual matters. In books dealing with Christian living, I am careful to read and recommend books that are founded on Scripture. Not merely opinions or emotions – but Scripture! I want to know that my journey of faith will be stronger for having given my time to reading what the author is teaching!

With all of this in mind, I have added a new page to the blog. If you look at the top left corner of this site, you can click on the “Bookshelf” page. There you will find a list of some of the books that I have read. As stated on the page, this list barely scratches the surface of what is actually on my bookshelf, so I will continue to add books as time permits. Just because a book is not listed does not mean I don’t recommend it – so don’t panic if you’re favorite book isn’t listed, it might just mean that there isn’t enough time or space to list them all!

I’ve included links to the books and/or their Kindle versions. While these are indeed associate links, my primary purpose is to have a place where I can share my personal recommendations and where you know you can find books that someone has actually read and wants to share with you!

Since I’m eager to sign off and read another chapter in my current book this morning, I’ll end with a verse I try to use as a standard when choosing Christian living books. Happy reading!

Philippians 4:8  “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Please feel free to comment and share the title of one of your favorite books!
