BOOKS

• The Holy Bible I believe the Bible is the Holy and Inspired Word of God, by which all authority and guidance can be found on how to live the life we were created to live. While there are many translations, I have always preferred the NASB/ESV, as they are the most literal translations.

• The Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson “Harmful habits, negative thinking and irrational feelings can all lead to sinful behavior and keep you in bondage. If you feel trapped by any of these strongholds in your life, know that you are not alone - you can break free. “

• Tender Warrior by Stu Weber “King. Warrior. Mentor. Friend. A Tender Warrior is what every woman dreams of for a husband, every boy desires to be, and every man yearns most to develop within himself. An upfront, straightforward style that challenges readers to realize God’s plan for men”

• Wild at Heart by John Eldredge “Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heard of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a “nice guy”. Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be”
