Enjoy: Finding the Freedom to Daily Delight in God’s Good Gifts by Trillia Newbell

God’s Grace in Your Suffering by David Powlison

New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp

Included in this book are 365 one-page devotionals that are brief yet deep, thoughtful, and mercy-filled. Compared to a lot of devotional books I have read, this one stands out. I love how this book is able to both challenge and encourage us as it brings us near to the character of God, His presence, and our response to Him.

None Like Him by Jen Wilkin

Sacred Rhythms by Ruth Haley Barton

Side by Side by Ed Welch

This book is all about offering practical guidance to those who want to develop their “helping skills” when it comes to walking alongside hurting people. It’s based on the conviction that friends are the best helpers and God delights in using ordinary relationships and conversations - between ordinary Christians - to work extraordinary miracles in the lives of his people.

The Prodigal God by Tim Keller

This is such a beautiful and helpful book on one of the most widely recognized parables of Jesus that gets right to the heart of the Gospel. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time and feel like an outsider or you’ve been following Jesus for 50 years, The Prodigal God is for you.
