As a Christian woman, I know it can be tough sometimes to balance work, home, and personal life.  And, all that busyness, can make it even harder to prioritize time for our spiritual growth and well-being.

Even when we finally do decide that we are going to get on our “spiritual A-game”, the biggest obstacle that most of us face is not knowing how or where to start.

If this sounds all too familiar, then the good news is that this list of bible study resources was designed specifically with you in mind!

These are the TOP resources that I personally recommend, as they all have been useful tools for me in my own spiritual journey.   I trust that you too will be able to utilize them as you seek to grow in your relationship with God, conquer life’s challenges, and enjoy life.

BIBLES

The One Year Chronological Bible (NIV)

One of my absolute favorite ways to read through the bible is do so in chronological order – especially if you have never done so before!

The One Year Chronological Bible offers a fascinating way to read through the Bible in one year . . . in only fifteen minutes per day! You will gain a better understanding of the order of biblical events and the historical context in which they unfolded.  The entire Bible text―books, chapters, and even verses―is arranged in the order the events actually happened. Prophetic books are interwoven with the historical accounts they accompanied. Psalms follow the events about which they were written. Proverbs are placed in the time they were compiled. 

This style is great if you want to be able to understand the flow of events in the bible better as you read through it.

FAITH-BASED BOOKS

Fall in Love With God’s Word

More than half of Christian women struggle to read God’s Word as much as they’d like.  Brittany Ann, the founder of Equipping Godly Women, is a busy working mom of three who understands this struggle all too well.

In her latest book, Fall in Love With God’s Word, she helps Christian women overcome spiritual resistance, create and maintain a quiet time they’ll love, and change their lives forever.

Having been a Christian for almost 30 years myself, this book completely revitalized my love of God’s Word!

The Battlefield of the Mind

God has used Joyce Meyer to inspire me in my Christian journey in more ways than one.

Her most popular bestseller ever, The Battlefield of the Mind is by far, my absolute favorite book written by her.  It has been one of the most influential book for me in regards to my Christian journey!

Whether its worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger, feelings of condemnation, or just negative thoughts in general, this book shows readers how to change their lives by changing their minds. And of course you can ONLY do that with help from God and His Word!

Discerning the Voice of God

Priscilla Shirer is an internationally recognized Bible teacher who focuses her ministry on teaching women the Word of God, and the importance of understanding and applying its truths.  Her books and sermons have inspired and motivated me in more ways than one.

Discerning the Voice of God is one of her bestselling titles.  It teaches that the ability to hear God’s voice is not only for those who lived in biblical times, but rather for all Christians.  In fact, wherever you are in your spiritual walk, God will find a way to speak to you in a way you will understand.   You just have to be able to discern His voice.

As a fanatic for learning the Word of God myself, this book served as an excellent resource for helping to cultivate my faith, especially in modern times like ours where there are so many other “voices” competing for our attention.

All Things According to God

Throughout the history of Christianity, the people of God have believed in the sovereignty of God.  However, there has been and remains to be disagreement as to the extent of that sovereignty.  

All Things According To God sets forth the truth that God’s sovereignty is absolute over all Creation, literally, in every way.  In addition, it demonstrates that our understanding of God impacts the rest of our theology.  It is a call to all who belong to Christ to understand God’s revelation of Himself in His word, the Bible.

This is definitely a great read for those who truly desire to know God more.  Plus its written by an awesome man of God, Pastor Kenneth T. Minor, who happens to be my father!
