#2: gods at war: Defeating the Idols that Battle for your Heart by Kyle Idleman
“In gods at war, Kyle Idleman, bestselling author of Not a Fan, helps every believer recognize there are false gods at war within each of us, and they battle for the place of glory and control in our lives. What keeps us from truly following Jesus is that our hearts are pursuing something or someone else. While these pursuits may not be the ‘graven images’ of old, they are in fact modern day idols. Behind the sin you’re struggling with, the discouragement you’re dealing with, the lack of purpose you’re living with is a false god that is winning the war for your heart.”
Oui. This book is “get-in-your-business” good.
Don’t read this book for warm fuzzies. You won’t find them here. But if you’re willing to open wide for a good soul cleanin’, this is the book for you.
You simply can’t read this book and walk away unchanged.
#3: The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions
My neighbor recently gave me this book, and it has quickly become my favorite new thing.
After about three pages in, I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty and richness of these prayers. Although the language is sometimes difficult (most of these prayers are from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries), I’m consistently taken in by the depth of theology and devotion found in these prayers.
With each prayer just one page in length, I slowly drink down one prayer a day with my first cup of coffee.
“The soul learns to pray by praying …”
So, if you’re growing tired of watered down faith – if you’re hungry for Spirit-filled words to stir your heart and ignite the fire within – this book, these prayers, are for you!
Can you handle just one more?!
This is just too perfect not to share (and it’s not a book!!)
It’s a new fall design from Jones Design Company. Isn’t it beautiful?!? You can find this print and more here.
ok. Enough from me.
I’ll end with a small portion of one prayer from The Valley of Vision:
“May the truth that is in Him
illuminate in {us} all that is dark,
establish in {us} all that is wavering,
comfort in {us} all that is wretched,
accomplish in {us} all that is of thy goodness,
and glorify in {us} the name of Jesus.”
Today and forever more. Amen!
