Books for Growth, our favorites.

I love to read, but as a mom of littles and in a home that seems to always have something to be done or to clean up, reading has not been fitting into my life like it once could.

Reading can be such a source for growth, whether it is for personal growth, spiritual growth, or even growth for your mind to be at peace, to get lost in a different world, or to be engaged in a stage of life you are currently in.

Here are a list of some of our favorite books that have brought each of us growth in different times of our lives…

Desiring God by John Piper

Growth was learning that God desires my delighting in Him,                                              not doing things for Him, just being with Him                                                                       and finding joy in relationships
