FRAGMENTS OF MY LIFE
BOOKS
“Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” -Charles H. Spurgeon
“An ounce of heart knowledge is worth more than a ton of head learning.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Growing Together
I highly recommend this beautifully written book about doing life with one another. Ladies, if you are mentoring someone in your life, check this book out. “Melissa Kruger presents a guide for discipleship conversations that span a variety of topics for spiritual growth. Each lesson encourages both mentor and mentee to focus on the hope of the gospel as they learn together from the truth of God’s word.”
Each chapter is filled with engaging questions, biblical truth, and practical applications. If you ask me what my favorite part of the book is, well we might be here all day. Below is an insert that stood out to me. It’s about contentment and searching, are you ready?
“However, contentment doesn’t come from a perfect set of circumstances, (just ask Eve), and most of the places we go searching for refreshment only make us thirsty. It’s not that our longings are necessarily bad or sinful; most of them are good things. However, we tend to expect too much from them… They may temporarily bring us happiness, but we will always find ourselves wanting more… However, our problem isn’t that we are thirsty. Our thirst is natural— we’re longing for something better for a good reason. This world is broken, and it’s full of hardship, trails, and lives that don’t go as we planned. Our problem is where we keep trying to go to find a drink.”
Where are you going to satisfy your thirst?
None Like Him
Jen Wilkin shares 10 ways God is different from us. My heart and mind needed this study. Have you found yourself in awe of God lately? When I finished each chapter, I was left in awe of who God is. As believers, we should be in awe of the One who created all things. We see in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 66:4 says, “All the earth worships you, and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Even creation is left in awe of God.
This is a great book study to do on your own or with a group of ladies. At the end of each chapter, there are Scripture to meditate on and questions for reflection. I highly encourage you to take your time at the end of each chapter to meditate on Scripture and reflect. I pray you are left in awe of who God is.
God is infinite, incomprehensible, self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and sovereign.

Gay Girl, Good God
Jackie Hill Perry shares her story. This is a story of redemption! Jackie said, “it’s a memoir in many ways, but it really isn’t about me. It’s me leveraging my story so that you could see the Gospel rightly.”
We all have a story like Jackie. A story of needing a Savior. Needing to find hope. Needing to see the Light in the darkness. Needing Jesus and Jesus alone.
“Are you living for the reason you were made? Which is to know God and glorify Him.”
