Non-Required Reading

I will just say first and foremost, there is no book that has rocked me, and continues to rock me consistently like God's word. His word is my greatest treasure and joy, and I continue to attempt to keep my nose stuck in it. It is so sweet to meditate on His words. They are new every morning. His word is required reading for the life of my spirit.

"O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day." - Psalm 119:97

Most of the following books that I read in 2010 made a major impact in my life. Some were just okay, some knocked it out of the park. I will never be the same after reading some of them. ...and that's a good thing. I'm grateful for the way God has used these authors in my life. Thank you, Lord! 2010 was an amazing year, and a turning point in my life. I can't wait to see what you're going to do next.

  2. You only have 4 of the "Top 10 Christian Books for 2010" on your list. What's up with that?

  3. I'll bet you that my top 4 of 2010 do not match the "Top 10 Christian Books for 2010".

    My top four were: 1. Economy of Love; 2. The Irresistible Revolution; 3. What Difference Do It Make; and 4. Let Justice Roll Down.

  4. Not one of yours made the top 100! Now THAT says something about the current "Christian" culture.
