Are you serious about taking the next step in your walk with God and looking for tools that will help you grow? It can be overwhelming to see all the options on Amazon or Christian book websites, especially when you know that so much that’s available today is just fluff. So I’ve chosen 20 of my favorite books and tools that have really pushed me along in my spiritual walk.
Someday I hope some day to do in-depth reviews of many of the resources below, but suffice it to say that all the books are meaty and truly helpful. Many I have gone to again and again over the years, finding new help for whatever stage of life and motherhood I’m in at the time. Hope they are helpful to you!
What books and tools have been most helpful to you in your spiritual walk? Please share in the comments below!

So why haven’t I made it a habit to pick those journals back up and start writing? Probably because that would mean admitting that I had missed years of journal entries, and if I do later add something about those missing years, it will be out of order. I wish I could go back through our calendars, text messages, and photos to try to piece together something of a family history to fill in the blank spaces first, but when will I find the time? So I wait, sitting on the side of the road, feeling that the enormous burden of my perfect ideal is too heavy for me to budge, much less pick up and carry.
While we can’t guarantee and shouldn’t seek delight as our primary goal in education, it does often come as the result of presenting a bountiful, nourishing, and continual feast of living ideas. If we are careful to give our children a loving atmosphere, good habits, and worthwhile resources, God can use those blessings to feed their souls. And they will be much more likely to love learning.
I know that I do often enjoy being a mom. But I wish that joy was more open, unashamed, and expressive. I wish that I didn’t feel awkward talking about how full my heart is with nine children, fearful that it sounds hypocritical when I know I so often complain about how full my hands are. But really, “how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blessed!”
