Soon, I will have some of the books I have read in the past and have really enjoyed. I will try to pick ones that will be beneficial to others, and also that will lead you into a closer walk with the Lord. If you have any suggestions as to what you think would be good reading, I would be more than happy to look at the book and possibly post it! :)
Also, to add to the diversity of this page, if there is any music that you like, or CD's in particular, please let me know, and we can start a list of godly music as it is incredibly hard to find. It is an area that you have to be just as careful in as dressing, but it is also a huge encouragement when you can find the right kind of music.
Here is the start of my list. Some of these books are ones that were suggested by a very dear friend, but I have not read them. However, I trust her judgement. I pray that these are a blessing to anyone who decides to read them.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sharlott Shaw.
