About ten years ago, I began a search to know God better. I had trusted Christ as my Savior as a little girl (as you learned from reading my testimony), but I knew I was at a point in my life that I needed to stop, sit at His feet, and learn of Him. That search began with my Bible. Obviously to know God better, I first had to go His Book written especially to me. The pages of His Word became even dearer to me as I sought His precious face within even familiar passages. I was looking only for Him.

It was my Bible that I'd read first each day; but then as time allowed, I began to read other books. These books were by authors that I knew I could trust to point me to my blessed Savior.

I began to keep a list of the books that I read. I am amazed when I look back over my list these years later; it has grown to quite lengthy. I heard someone once say that who you are tomorrow will be determined by the people you meet and the books you read. I can honestly say that many of these books have become very dear friends. With each one considered in the light of God's Word, they have guided me, encouraged me, and challenged me as I continue to grow in the "grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

"My Bookshelf" will give you reviews of my favorite books. I will share my thoughts about the book, the author, and the topics covered. I'll include quotes that have had an impact on my personal life and walk with the Lord. This information will hopefully help you decide if this is a book you[ES][SQ]d like to add to your bookshelf!
