Reading is one of my favorite things to do. That probably comes as no surprise to anyone who has been hanging around Intentional By Grace for any length of time.
My reading diet has changed tremendously in the last year, but there are some books I return to again and again and again. Those are the books I will be sharing with you today.
The pressure of compiling this short list of books was really overwhelming for me, but the following books sit on my shelf for reference and for regular reading, and often stand in as faithful friends I can refer back to time and time again. There are so many wonderful books out there, and even more that I would likely recommend if we were sitting side by side talking about what you enjoy reading, or what you want to read. But the books on the list that follows are books that I re-read over and over.
Enjoy!

Fiction to Encourage Your Faith
By the way …
If you want to follow along with my reading choices, feel free to check out my Goodreads account. I’m active there and keep track of what I’m reading, what I want to read, as well as the children’s books I have on my shelf (Goodreads holds my inventory list for my home!).
Also, be sure to follow me on Instagram because I love sharing about the books I’m reading there as well as inspirational tidbits on how they have affected me or how I’m implementing what I’m learning.
I hope you enjoy this list and find a book to encourage your faith!
But remember, don’t spend so much time reading about God that you fail to read the word of God. You’ve been blessed and entrusted with the power of the Holy Spirit if you have trusted in Jesus as Savior. He can teach far more than mere man (or woman) ever could!
May I suggest to you a book that changed my life 30 years ago? This book has motivated my personal walk because it revealed to me God’s “big picture” and showed me where I fit in it.
Oops! I guess it would help if I told you the title. It’s called Paradise Restored, by David Chilton. After reading it I felt like my vision was changed from seeing black and white to glorious color. I understand the vision and scope of redemption as never before. I have returned to Chilton’s books again and again over the past 30 years.
