Blessings, Rebecca : p. I would love to have emailed you back directly but unfortunately you are a "no reply blogger". I hope to connect with you more in the future! Love that you put the bible! It is definitely the best book to help you grow and to impact your life! I live the Mark of the Lion series!? How did I not put this on my list. This is an amazing series about true faith! Love it! Christy Miller is my fictional best friend. I love finding other people who love these books like I do!
I included them all on my list as well. And yes, anything by Elisabeth Elliot is amazing! I think I read it but I am not quite sure! I hope that you have a wonderful week!! Powered by Blogger. Caravan Sonnet. There are a stack of books beside my bed, in bed with me, and there can always be at least one found in my purse At different times different books have impacted my life in different ways, but today I wanted to share with y'all the 5 books that have impacted my life the most:.
Without a doubt, the Bible has been the number one book that has impacted my life. On good and bad days I find a love letter from the most important in my life Jesus and fall more in love with my precious Savior.
On difficult days, scripture shouts to my hurting heart and reminds me of the truth of who Jesus is. A couple of years ago I shared here on the blog about this book and the impact it has had on my life. This book tells the story of Darlene who was a young newlywed in the pre-World War II era and her experience as a missionary in the jungles of New Guinea and then her four years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. The title of this book is perfect because she truly is honest in her experience of the way that the Lord often appeared silent but His hand was continuously orchestrating protection over her each and every day, providing "evidence not seen".
There are so many nuggets of truth and encouragement that I have walked away from after reading this book and I have made it a tradition to read this book once a year in the Spring or Summer.
Each time I do I am struck again by this woman's faith in God despite her horrific circumstances. You can read more of my thoughts about this book HERE if you are interested! When I was 13 years old I was handed my first of many books I would fall in love with from Robin Jones Gunn and haven't stopped reading them over the last 22 years. I have read, re-read, and re-read a thousand times the adventures of Robin's characters while I have been encouraged in my faith and strengthened and challenged to return to scripture.

The Luminaries may not be a Christian novel, but its setting and some of its plot points are similar enough to Redeeming Love to deserve a mention here.
Like Francine Rivers, Catton tackles the seedier side of the industry. Our heroine is a young woman forced into prostitution. Drug abuse and miscarriage are also themes. More importantly, the whole plot hinges on the mysterious death of a gold prospector and the resulting murder investigation, all driven by greed, lust, and gold-fever. San Francisco and its grubby origins gets its time to sort of shine in this richly-detailed historical romance.
Kimberley Woodhouse clearly put a lot of effort into her research, weaving real people and events into her tale of a widow falling for a budding political activist. A major subplot revolves around the mistreatment of Chinese immigrant workers, for example, adding some interesting social commentary to the religious themes. Redeeming Love does a brilliant job of echoing a Biblical narrative while telling its own story, in its own time period.
Thorn in My Heart manages to pull off the same trick, transporting the messy family drama of Jacob, Rachel and Leah to eighteenth century Scotland. Like Angel, Jamie and the McBride sisters are morally grey characters who backstab, deceive, and cheat each other more than you would expect from protagonists in a Christian novel. Instead, she ends up fleeing town with Annamae, an escaped slave. Together they head for the Gold Rush disguised as boys and fall in with a group of cowboys.
But will they be able to stay ahead of the law?
