Reading List: Voddie Baucham, Lysa Terkeurst & more

 Finished since last post:

 

Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortland

 

This was a really precious book. It highlights the love and grace not just of Christ, but of the Father and the Holy Spirit. It was so encouraging and Scripture-saturated. Highly recommend, it was so encouraging!

 

Fault Lines by Voddie Baucham

 

Critical Race Theory and Social Justice are taking over not just academics but churches as well. What do these terms actually mean? Should Christians support these ideas? How should Christians respond to social and racial issues? Voddie has carefully researched this topic and also speaks from experience as a black man and from his position as a pastor/theologian. A MUST read for the current culture we are in.

It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way by Lysa Terkeurst

 

This was a really, really good book. Extremely good for anyone struggling with hardship in life whether it’s health, finances, relationships or anything else. Lysa writes from personal experience in trials and suffering and what God has taught and shown her through it. Rich in Scripture and practical application (each chapter closes with a review of key points, Scripture and reflection questions) this book was a real blessing and encouragement to me. I would love to go through it with a group of women one day, it would make a fantastic study.
