Devotions for the New Year

I hope to work through these books this year.
A few I have read and I want to read again.
If you have read any of them, please leave your review for me and others.

A Heart Like His: Seeking the Heart of God by Beth Moore
(this one is going on at church, I missed the first meeting, but HOPE to make the next!)If you aren't able to attend a Beth Moore study, you can listen and participate in her studies online.I cannot find the online study for the updated 'David, Seeking a Heart Like Him'. However, many of her studies are available. She is a wonderful, wise, God fearing woman. If you haven't participated in one of her studies, I strongly encourage you to. She backs up every word she says with verses from the Old and New Testament. You will use your Bible like never before!

Living Beyond Yourself by Beth Moore
Online study available here.
Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George

For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn
Reshaping It All by Candance Cameron Bure
Praying For a Purpose by Katie Brazelton
I first read this book about two years ago. It is a 60 day journey towards finding the God given meaning in your life. If you choose to read this devotional, I suggest you be totally honest as you work through it. Write down your answers, look up the passages and mediate on them. God will change you through this book.
Be Still & Let Your Nail Polish Dry by Andrea Boeshaar
I'll admit, it was the title that got me on this one :)
Written for the buy woman, the devotionals are short, yet inspirational. I keep this book beside my bed stand and read it before I turn off my lights at night.


And two for my boys -
they have already started on them and give them a thumbs up

Good books! I am doing the David Study now, and have done the other one...love it! I was thinking about doing a post like this, but I am afraid if I post it, I have to commit! ;) I tend to drift asleep when I read in the evenings, so it takes me a long time!

Here are some I want to read this year...

A thousand Gifts
Bruschko
Muslims,Christians and Jesus

Tea with Hezbolah

...and those will probably take me ALL year. *grin*

Reshaping it all is on my list too. Right now i'm reading Made to Crave by Lisa Lysa TerKeurst. And also finishing up A lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers. That one is really good. Wish I made more time to read. I have a good devotional in the bathroom (hee hee) it is from MOPS by Jen Hatmaker- out of the spin cycle. Good quick and meaningful devotions for moms.

Oh yeah I have one more on the back burner that i have peaked at a little bit is UNPLANNED by Abby Johnson. She used to work at Planned Parenthood. Books get me excited. My sister does a lot of audio books so she can keep working as she listens. Might have to look into that as my list is growing. thanks for sharing yours Annika.

We're doing the David study at our church now too. I'm really enjoying it! There is a little more homework with this particular study, but I always find that it's worth it. Another study of hers I really enjoyed was the one on Esther. Have you done that study?
