49 Unique Books To Encourage You in Your faith

Books with resources of prayer, forgiveness and wisdom for living a life for Christ
Plan for using your Spiritual Gifts in the Church

49 unique spiritual books that have had an encouraging impact on my lifetime of journeying with the LORD.

  • After making a post of my favorite top books, I decided to make a new post. A partial list of some of the books I have read in the past 50 or so years. The books listed are books I have purchased. If you find any that are interesting, you could do as I do when I hear of a book I would like to read: I try the library first. If it is not in our local library, I check to see if they have any books taken off the shelves and available for sale throughout the year at prices of 1-2 $ for a hardcover. Also after doing that or even before, used books can be purchased online. Although I have made a link to Amazon for some of the books, I do NOT get any commission if you purchase a book through them. Try elsewhere!

One of my early dreams, some 45 or so years ago was to have a Christian bookstore online . Never happened although our good friends Randy and Judy did start a Christian book/gift store at a strip mall.

Now a partial list of books in my bookcases: Not in any order of purchase or priority, but just a list.
