Buying this also now :drunk:
 
For me it's the purpose driven life - Rick Warren. I never tire of reading it. I re-read various chapters over again.

The vision: the final quest & the call - Rick Joyner : Very powerful book about visions he had. There is soooo much to learn from it about spiritual warfare, faith, God, everything. I recommend!

Fiction: She's out of control - Kristen Billerbeck; very good read with lots of lessons without being religious-heavy.
 
-Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

-Dining at the Master's Table by Paul Norcross

-Every Woman's Battle by Shannon Ethridge

-Battlefield of the Mind &
-How to Hear from God by Joyce Meyer

-The Making of a Leader by Frank Damazio

I love the Left Behind series, I have to get back to reading them. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have a new book out but I don't know the name of it.
 
Aren't the left behind series scary? I can remember watching a left behind movie when I was young and it was about rapture ... people were just disappearing. Like two friends in the farm and then one just disappears and the other's left behind. Is this the same thing?

When I started reading the series I was so sacred but at the same times it was really exciting. I had to know what would happen next.

In the beginning of the first Left Behind movie there is a scene that takes place on a farm, it was an interview. During the interview hundreds of war planes were flying over head and bombs were being dropped on Israel.
 
Books I've read most recently and really liked were:

Non-Fiction
Emotional Purity- Heather Arnel Paulsen (did this in a singles book club & it changed my way of thinking)
Singleness Redefined-Carolyn Leutwiler ( really like the book and style of writing very modern)
Lord I Want To Know You (devotional study on the names of God)- Kay Arthur (doing this in my discipleship class very informative and insightful)
Disciplines of a Godly Woman- Barbara Hughes (our Women's Ministry is doing this for a book club & love it)

Fiction
Yada Yada Prayer Group-Book 1 &2- Neta Jackson

Books I'm in the process of reading or have to read soon

Non-Fiction
The Emotionally Healthy Church (updated & expanded edition)-Peter Scazzero (reading this in my disciple class)
A Praying Life- Paul E. Miller (recommended by a friend)
My Utmost For His Highest (devotional) Oswald Chambers
Joy (on the go devotional)- Lydia Brownback
Contentment (on the go devotional)-Lydia Brownback
When Sinners Say I Do (for a later date-it was 50% off)

Fiction
Ain't No Mountain- Sharon Ewell Foster
Ain't No Valley- Sharon Ewell Foster

I read most of the Left Behind Books in college. I may go back and reread them as well as the newer ones to see how it all came together. I never saw the movies may have to find them at Blockbuster.

Ps. I love to read:grin:
 
Vonnieluvs08, I love to read also hehe but it's ok, I embraced my geek status a long time ago :look:

I like the sound of emotional purity. Will keep it in mind and look to getting it when i'm done with the two books i've just ordered. They should arrive today :spinning: . I'm actually reading at the moment 'The relationship principles of Jesus' by Tom Holladay and it's actually good. It's like the purpose driven life in that the author recommends you read a chapter a day so that'll be my nightly dose I guess.

The last chapter I read was about loving God with all your heart and talking about what that means and how the heart is where you feel. When you read the psalms, David's feelings for God were clear, he loved God with all his heart. He said that when you pray in your mind which is equally good, you tend to pray more with your mind than when you speak. It made me think that I express my feelings even more in writing than speaking so maybe I should get a book where I write letters to God. I used to do that before but then the feelings I feel tend to overwhelm me - yes, i'm a very emotional person :grin:. Maybe that's ok. Will try again and see.

yeah but it's really interesting imo. :yep: I used to be so scared of the second coming and tribulation period (actually after all that ends the war after Jesus' 1000 year reign kinda freaks me outl) but then I got so into it. I was reading all types of books on the subject. :yep: Some parts are scary but it's a good series. The Left Behind movies I believe are the least scary of those type of movies.

I love the Mark of the Lion Series by Francine Rivers (fiction) well the first two books at least. A Voice in The Wind and Echo in the Darkness.
 
I like just about any Michelle Mckinney Hammond book.
Joyce Meyer - The Confident Woman (plan to read more)
Beth Moore -Anything by her.

There are a number of books by Thelma Wells that I can't wait to get my hands on...

I also have a thing for study Bibles and Devotional Bibles. I love my Life Application Bible NIV and my Women of Faith Devotional Bible NKJV.
 
How to Handle & Deal with ANGER, teaching by Joyce Meyer (on sale on her website)
Attitude 101: What Every Leader Needs to Know by John C. Maxwell
Happiness is...Simple Steps to a Life of Joy by A.R. Bernard (my pastor)

I feel that as a Christian, I always have to work on my attitude and responses to various situations because it's easy to have a worldly response to things.

I know a lot of people who have read this book and loved it. They say all her books are really good.

I'm not in the right frame of mind right now to read something like this.:rolleyes:
