I have reviewed this series of books before, but they are well worth reviewing again. A Father’s Love series by Jean Defreese Moore is a fascinating and gripping American historical fiction series. There are five books (so far). The first book begins just before the American Civil War, and the series continues through the early 1900s. It chronicles the history of Travis Britt, his children, and grandchildren. Travis is a strong man both physically and spiritually. His close relationship with God sustains him through many trials and troubles.

Looking for summer reading for your children or grandchildren? The Brady Street Boys 1980s Adventure series by Katrina Hoover Lee is a good choice. What drew my attention to the series was that one of the boys, Gary, has a wooden leg. Several years earlier, Gary had cancer, and his leg was amputated to save his life. The stories are told from Gary’s point of view. I read the first book and was so impressed that I bought the rest of the series.

The Air I Breathe by Louie Giglio is a wonderful book about living a life of worship to God. Everyone leads a life of worship. The question to ask yourself is this: Who or what am I worshiping? To find the answer, think about what you value the most. This is determined by how you spend your time and what influences your thoughts and actions.

A wonderful book that will bless your life is The Shepherd Trilogy by Phillip Keller. Even though this is called a trilogy, the three books are not fictional stories. Published by Zondervan, the volume consists of the following three books: A Shepherd Looks at the 23rd Psalm, A Shepherd Looks at the Good Shepherd, and A Shepherd Looks at the Lamb of God.

Do you long for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ? Are you struggling to live the Christian life? I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer shares the answer. Stop trying to do it on your own. Surrender everything to Jesus and let Him be Lord of your life. Abide in Jesus, and He will produce fruit in you.

In The Prodigal God, Timothy Keller delves deep into the Parable of the Prodigal Son. While most pastors and teachers focus on the younger (more obviously prodigal) son, this book looks at both sons.

I recently was introduced to Jonathan Cahn’s books. Jonathan Cahn is a Messianic Jewish Rabbi. He is well versed in Scripture, and the Hebrew language, culture, and history.

What would happen if you chose one word from the Bible to study and meditate on for an entire year? Debbie Macomber does just that, and she shares her experiences in the book One Perfect Word.

The book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom. God has given us principles about wisdom, foolishness, the fear of the Lord, temptations, friendship, gossip, conflicts, parenting, money, justice, and many other subjects.

The book of Psalms is a book of songs and prayers that cover every emotion, speak to our human needs, and point us to Jesus. These are the songs that Jesus sang.
