Favorite Books

-

Hello Everyone who reads this,
I would like to know of some good Christian books to read, so I thought I would ask about it on my blog. Therefore, I have some Questions for you and here they are.

1. What is your favorite spiritual book that you have ever read?
2. What is your favorite fiction that you have ever read?
3. What is your favorite biography or true story that you have ever read?
4. What is your favorite missionary biography that you have ever read?
5. Who are your three favorite authors?

I would love to hear your answers to these questions, and it doesn’t really have to be your “favorite ever read book” just one that you really liked. And now I shall attempt to answer the questions myself for anyone who may be interested.

1. Favorite spiritual book – Dug Down deep by Joshua Harris
2. Favorite fiction book – They Loved to Laugh by Katheryn Worth
3. Favorite biography – We Thought We Heard the Angels Sing by Lieutenant James C. Whittaker
4. Favorite missionary biography book – An Open Door in China (Jonathan Goforth) by Janet and Geoff Benge
5. Three favorite authors – Lori Wick, Louisa May Alcott, Carolyn Mahaney

Also this post is a “forever post” that means that even if it has been years since I have posted it, I would still love to hear your answers to these questions. Thank you very much!
I hope you are have a wonderful day. God bless you!

    Thanks Meggie,
    Yes, that is helpful.
    I've read "Do hard Things" and really liked it, too. My Mom read "The Hiding Place" to me and my sisters a while back and that was really interesting, too. (we also watched the movie of it and that was really good, as well)
    Thanks again!
    God bless you!

    Hello Hannah!

    Thank you so much for the comment you left on my blog!

    In answer to these questions...
    1) My favorite Spiritual book? "Justification and Regeneration" by Charles Leiter

    2) My favorite fiction book? "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken. This book is a favorite with my entire family. We have looked at other books by this author and they had some objectionable content, but this book was wonderful. We've read it many times! :)

    3) Favorite biography? "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom.

    4) Favorite missionary biography? "The Triumph of John and Betty Stam" by Mrs. Howard Taylor (this is one of my very most favorite books that I've ever read!) and "Through Gates of Splendor" by Elisabeth Elliot.

    5) My three favorite authors? Jim Elliff, Charles Leiter, and Tom Wells (to name just three).

    Love in Christ,
    Amy

    Thanks Amy!
    I will look into some of those books.
    My Mom read "The Triumph of John and Betty Stam" to my sisters and I. It was a very good book.

    Hi Michaela,
    Thanks!
    I agree that the Bible is the best spiritual book.

    Hey, Hannah!
    I love to read, so it's hard for me to pick just a few favorites.
    1. I really enjoyed Be Last by Jeremy Kingsley. It's all about humility and remembering to put Jesus and others first.

    2. Pride and Prejudice (by Jane Austen) is without a doubt my favorite fiction book EVER! But I read all kinds of books--the Inkheart Trilogy, The Ranger's Apprentice Series, the Alex Rider Series, the Artemis Fowl Series, the Charmed Life Series (teen Christian fiction by Jenny Jones)...one Christian historical fiction book I immensely enjoyed was The Silent Governess. It was amazing. I highly recommend it! (I'm pretty sure the author's last name is Klassen)

    3. Definitely The Hiding Place. It was such an eye-opener and a reminder to trust God no matter what our circumstances.

    4. I've read several biographies on Amy Carmichael. I did a research paper on her life in middle school, and I really enjoyed learning about her life, how she helped children in India find the love of God.

    5. That's kinda hard. Jane Austen, for sure. And Janette Oake--I enjoy her books. I also really admire John Flanagan's, Anthony Horowitz's, and Eoin Colfer's work.

    Hi Hannah,
    Thanks for all of those book recommendations. I will have to check into some of them.

    1. I have a tie for this one. "Signs of the Spirit" by Sam Storms was absolutely amazing, but John Piper's "Desiring God" also changed my outlook on life. It's a toss-up.
    2. C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy: "Out of the Silent Planet," "Perelandra," and "That Hideous Strength."
    3. I'm currently reading through "Confessions" by Augustine. Very excellent.
    4. I haven't read any missionary biographies...
    5. Douglas Wilson, John Piper, and C.S. Lewis

    Wow, I can't believe I've never actually read any missionary biographies. That's just sad.

    Devin,
    Wow! That is sad that you haven't read any missionary biographies. Here are some that I thought were really good:
    1. God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew
    2. Bruchko by Bruce Olson (That is an amazing book. I would highly recommend it.)
    Also since you like John Piper's books then you might like his series The Swans are not Silent.

    I have read Desiring God, too, and that was definitely a good book.
    Thanks for the recommendations.

    Actually, I have read "The Heavenly Man," but I haven't made a wide practice of reading missionary biographies. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be adding them to my wishlist.

      Hi Maggie,
      I read "A Young Woman After God's Own heart" too, and really liked. I like Elizabeth George's devotional books, although that is the only one I have finished ( I think. I have two others of hers and plan to read them sometime, hopefully soon. I really like a lot of Janet and Geoff Benge's books, too.
      Thanks for leaving a comment!

      Your Friend,

      Hey Hannah,
      I know that this is long since you wrote this post, but you said it was a "forever post"!

      1. Favorite spiritual book? Probably would have to say Knowing God by Packer. It had an impact on my understanding of the significance of the Cross.

      2. Favorite fiction? Hmmm, I like a bunch: Call of the Wild, Emma, The Swiss Family Robinson, but maybe the best is The Scarlet Pimpernel!

      3. Favorite biography or true story? Brother Andrew! (God's Smuggler)

      4. Favorite missionary biography? The Small Woman (about Gladys Alward)

      5. Three favorite authors? Hmmm... not sure. Packer,...

      Thanks my Belle for this post. I love you!

Winnie the Pooh

I have a confession. Ok, not really a confession because just about everyone who actually knows me knows it and I am not ashamed of it, but.... I have an obsession, of sorts, with Winnie the Pooh! Yes, go ahead and laugh, but seriously, I kind of like him a lot (ok, not as much as Cowboys, but that is a different story). So my car has a little Winnie the Pooh hanging on the mirror and he basically is my friend that accompanies me on all my road trips and road adventures of getting lost (happens a lot). So, whether you like it or not this post is Winnie the Pooh quotes. I probably just scared away half my readers, but you know if you can't put up with my Winnie the Pooh obsession for just one day than that is really just too bad. Be thankful I did not decide to do a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers post instead. I would understand if you left me after that. That would be the testing of whether we are true friends or not, but this time I am just sticking with Winnie the Po...

Hidden Treasures From the Thrift Stores

-

I know it can be kind of discouraging for Christians girls, who really desire to dress modestly, to go shopping. Often times it is very hard to find something that is modest. Yet if you look hard enough, you can find the hidden treasures. One of my favorite places to buy clothes is at the thrift stores. That way I can get a good deal and there is also usually more of a variety. Therefore, today my mom, sister, and I went shopping and we're blessed to find two very nice (at least in my opinion), but also modest dresses. This is my dress. I am wearing a white t-shirt with it, because it only has straps. This is Priscilla's  dress. So my encouragement to ya'll girls out there trying to dress modestly: DON'T GIVE UP! There is modest clothing out there, it just might take a bit of searching. Also, don't forget to check out the thrift stores. That is where I find almost all of my clothes. People are all the time getting rid of their clothes that are in really...
