While things are a bit quiet and somewhat slow it's a great chance to bury my nose in some excellent books on Christian living, godliness, evangelism and building ministries.
Here's what's on the list right now (I like to read multiple books at once):
Prayer - Tim Keller.
An encouraging read for understanding and becoming more disciplined and joyous about prayer. Prayer is a continuation of the conversation God started when He revealed Himself to us
Disciplines of a Godly Woman - Barbara Hughes.
A challenging read, but also encouraging, an invitation to mature as godly Christian women and bring our hearts and minds under Christ's lordship.
Knowing God - J.I. Packer.
A wonderful book to reflect on the incredible qualities and character of God, to be reminded of his love, majesty, power and more.
The Deliberate Church - Mark Dever.
A book on being intentional in every aspect of church life. I'm reading this through the lens of someone in women's and children's ministry, not as someone who will be an elder/pastor one day.
Reasoning from the Scriptures with Jehovah's Witnesses - Ron Rhodes.
I have a couple of neighbour's who are Witnesses. This book has been very helpful in working through their beliefs and organisation, and the scriptures they use and why, and then teaching what those scriptures actually mean.
