Not a lot of people know this, but I grew up in a very religious home.
That meant devotionals every single morning, Sunday church services, midweek services, and being sent off to camp as soon as school ended for the term.
But as I got older and went through different experiences – just like many others will tell you – I felt my faith slipping away.
I’m not proud of it, but there was a time in my life when I was completely disconnected from Christianity.
Last year, I went through something that reminded me of God’s goodness.
When I made the firm decision to return to my faith, I found myself turning to certain books.
The books in this collection are ones I believe every Christian woman should read.
And, I love how they include everything from memoirs to devotionals.
1. The Sacred Search by Gary Thomas
Gary Thomas invites us to rethink relationships by asking the question, What if dating isn’t about finding ‘the one,’ but about making a wise choice to serve the One who loves you most?
He explains that marriage isn’t about happiness but about growing in holiness.
This book is a beautiful reminder that a good marriage isn’t something you find; it’s something you build together.
I love how this book encourages us to look at relationships from a faith-centered perspective.
2. Power Moves by Sarah Jakes Roberts
This book is about discovering the superpower of being your true, authentic self.
