Books To Fall For
Isn’t fall a wonderful time to start a new Bible Study, pick up a new devotional book or just to snuggle up with a book? Below are some of my favorite books, most of them kindle format, but many of them you can probably get in paperback or hard back. So take a look a find some books to fall for.
Books to Fall For this Fall Season:
1. Bible Study Books:
Make sure your time with the Lord is first and foremost. We all need to fall in love with God's Word more and more.
- The "BE SERIES by Warren Wiersbe is an excellent series for study. Sometimes you can score one of these for free. If you follow my Facebook page, I ususally will share free books that come across my path.
- Gleanings in Proverbs is another great book. It has been a whole year's Bible study for me. Proverbs is the book that basically lies out the way for Christians to live on a daily basis.
- A Place of Quiet Rest: by Nancy Leigh DeMoss - Finding Intimacy with God Through a Daily Devotional Life and a couple more by her: Adorned and Lies Women Believe
2. Books on Prayer:

- How I Know God Answers Prayer The Personal Testimony of One Life-Time Rosalind Goforth
- The Prayer that Makes a Difference Oma Van Gelderen walked by faith and not by sight as she grew to understand the witness of the Holy Spirit as a fact of knowledge and not a feeling. She knew neither fame nor fortune, yet God used her prayer life to make a profound difference.
- Prayer 101 by Warren Wiersbe Dr. Warren Wiersbe addresses many questions about prayer and gives practical tools for incorporating prayer into our lives
- The Kneeling Christian by Albert Richardson "Why are many Christians often defeated? Because they pray so little. Why do most Christians see so few brought out of darkness to light by their ministry? Because they pray so little. Why are our churches simply not on fire for God? Because there is so little real prayer."
- Praying Hyde He came to be called "Praying Hyde" for his passionate prayers to reach lost souls.
3. Biographies:
I guess biographies are my all time favorite. I love true stories. I especially love to hear missionary stories or stories of the holocaust or of those who endured much and yet were victorious.

Raised by her Jewish mother, she came to believe that Jesus was her Messiah at eight years old. By the time she was ten, the war had begun.

Books on Abuse and Human Trafficking:
We hear so much about this now and it is so real. It seems to be everywhere. How do we deal with it.
- Stolen Series - "In Kimberly Rae's novel Stolen Woman, she juxtaposes the natural beauty of Kolkata, India, with the insidious evil slithering under darkness on street corners where women are sold to the highest bidder. Rae's message of hope and the education the novel provides should open our eyes to an issue which can no longer be ignored and needs everyone's efforts to eradicate."
- The Broken Series Human Trafficking can Hide in a Small Town: This series brings to light difficult subject matter and gives solutions for healing from pain and trauma through the eyes of the victims....You won't be able to put these down.
