A few of my friends have been posting their nonfiction book list for the year. I was impressed by many of the books on their list and it reminded me of the many nonfiction books I have bought at conferences or on Amazon that I have wanted to read. I LOVE to read. It is honestly one of the things I miss most about my “life before children”. Reading does not happen as often as I would like! And the truth is that I LOVE a good fiction novel. I will read nonfiction books here and there, but they don’t appeal to me as much as fiction.
I have made reading goals for myself before…one year I wanted to read 75 books…and I did! So this year I have made a list of nonfiction books that I would like to read this year…amongst all the fiction.
1. So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore
2. Relationships: A Mess Worth Making by Timothy Lane
3. Gospel Powered Parenting by William Farley
4. Counterfeit Gods by Tiim Keller
5. Liberation of a Resentful Wife by Carol Arnold (no I’m not resentful, but I was told every Pastor’s wife should read this book!)
6. A Praying Life by Paul Miller
7. Love Walked Among Us by Paul Miller
8. Cast of Characters: Common People in the Hands of an Uncommon God by Max Lucado
9. A Treasury of Praise: Enjoying God Anew by Ruth Myers
10: Becoming God’s True Woman by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and others
11. Your Girl: Raising a Godly Daughter in an Ungodly World by Vicki Courtney
I also plan to read throughout the year: The One Year Chronological Bible and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Now…to just make time to read…
75 books?! what year was that!?
