Great books! And of course the bible is at the top. Amen. I’ll be referring back to this list.
Thanks Lashonda! As summer approaches, make it goal to knock out at least 2 of these books! 😉
I draw my inspiration from the Bible as well. I think I’ll check out Joyce Meyer’s book too. She’s one of my faves.
The Joyce Meyer book, Power Thoughts, also has an accompanying CD. It is absolutely awesome!
These are all great picks. The Bible is of course at the top of my list as well. I have read some of the others on the list. Thanks for the other suggestions
The Bible will always be a source of inspiration for me. Thank you for visiting!
This is a great list! I’ve read a few of these but will check out the others. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, Carin! Thank you for visiting! 🙂
I LOVE your book picks!!! That fashion one is my next buy!
Yes, you are going to love it, Angel!
I will have to add some of these books to my reading list. Of course the Bible is number one. A current one is The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman.
I appreciate your feedback! I have to look into The Confidence Code!
