Books: Resources To Help You Grow As A Christian Woman

(This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.)

March 29, 2015 By Jenny 11 Comments

I love to read books! In order to grow in our faith, as women, mothers, wives, homemakers, business owners and any other hat we wear, we need resources. One resource we all have access to is books. Books are available through libraries, the internet, stores or electronic devices. They’re everywhere!

Here is the beginning of a list that I will be adding to (I still have a lot of parenting resources to add).

I hope you enjoy this list and hope you find something new to explore that helps you grow!  These books are highly recommended by myself and women I trust!

    This is a great list!! Some I have read, others I have on my list to read, others are new to me. I will be pinning as a reminder of some of the books I have wanted to pick up. And now…I want to go read instead of move on with my day. 🙂

    I enjoyed Radical & Notes from a Blue Bike very much. Highly recommend! I was given Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches for Christmas and I completely forgot I had it!
