I would like to share with you three books that God used to impact my life. The timing of when I read them occurred at crucial times in my life. God was orchestrating a symphony of change in my haphazard walk in Christ...changes that drew my family and I closer to God. Change that God used to embolden my faith.
Here's my top 3, life changing books:
1. The Bible
(Read through the Bible every day, for years. It and prayer are my lifeline to our wonderful God!)
2. The Prayer of Jabez, Bruce Wilkenson
(Read as our family was going through my cancer diagnosis. Made me realize God wanted more from me than what I had been giving Him - He wanted all of me! He had a wonderful future planned for us, if we obeyed and lived with the right motivation - to live for Him! He would bless us indeed. And He has!)
3. The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren
(Read our first year at PCC, leaving the 'traditions' of our past and entering a deeper, more intimate relationship with God. Helped me realize life was not about me - it was about God!)
If you haven't read these books, I highly recommend doing so. I reread through each of them at least once a year to refresh my memory and remind myself of what God has done in my life since reading them the first time. The latter two books, by no means, should ever replace the works of the Bible on our lives. The BIBLE should be our #1 source of Godly Truth, application, and standard. However, the perspective offered by the latter two books helped me to reassess my life and redirect my focus. Just thought I'd share:-)
Grace and peace, friends! It's FRIDAY! AMEN!
In His Love, Cathy
