Some of them I might have shared here on the blog, but I wanted to put this list together for you in case you are looking for something “new” to read. Keep in mind most of these books are very old – but the truths and inspiration they hold are AWESOME!

I know I’ve shared about this treasure before, but I cannot tell you how this small book changed the course of my Christian life.

Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret by Dr. Howard and Mrs. Taylor
In this semi-biographical book on one of the legendary missionaries, we read about a man with fierce faith who believed that God truly would fuflill all He promises in Scripture. It is written by Hudson Taylor’s son and daughter-in-law, and much of the information is based on letters he wrote and others wrote to him. For Christians longing for the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor had, they can find the secret to it here. The secret, it turns out, is available to any who call on Christ’s name.

With discussion questions and space to fill in your answers, this is a great topical Bible study for all women.
None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different from Us (and Why That’s a Good Thing) by Jen Wilkin
I read this book a few months ago, and I can’t shake the feeling it stirred in me. We are always taught to “be like Christ,” but some things about God are not meant to be emulated. Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God’s limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.
