[@SincerelyHannah9]

Your love for reading motivates me so much to read more for enjoyment 😫 thank you so much for this list! And also, amen to you mentioning how the Bible is the most important book!!!

[@_KendraChristine]

Yessss! If I couldn’t read books anymore I would be sad, but all I truly need is the Bible! 🙌🏼🥰

[@thankfulblessed6576]

The Hiding Place is my favorite regular Christian Biography...I cry every time I read it...but it always inspires me at the same time...

[@vanessaboman8143]

Thank you for making this video, it's so lovely to see the younger folks reading such great classics.

[@SplashesofLight]

I love the "The Well-watered Woman" by Gretchen Saffles, and Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst. Cried while reading both. They truly helped me understand more and grow :)

[@AvaCalhoun]

I’m going to try to read all of these! I love your recommendation videos because I know you have a biblical lens, and that definitely shows in your videos! some of my favorite books are: Tactics - gregory koukl seeking allah finding Jesus - Nabeel Qureshi Person of Interest - J. Warner Wallace Another Gospel? - Alisa childers the case for christ - Lee Strobel 😊😊😊

[@Christ2010Grad]

^ I have that first one.

[@cedricklupangu2074]

Wonderful list of powerful Christian life changing books. I have so appreciated your sincerity and humility. Definitively I would grab some soon. Stay blessed, fellow sister.

[@kahmehkoh]

Definitely subbing after you said you recommend the bible, number one and all the others is supplementing! Love that!!

[@garlandofbooks4494]

I love Corrie ten Boom’s The Hiding Place - I read that when I was a girl and it has meant so much to me. I’m also very interested in You’re not Enough and that’s okay. Some of those others I haven’t heard of but several sound interesting! Thanks for this video

[@KittyKat19720]

The movie the hiding place was well done and they also made the hiding place 2 film

[@marykaymorrison7993]

Wow! This video was suggested for me and the algorithm chose perfectly! A few I own, but many sound great. Grateful to have found your videos! This is a great start to my summer reading list!

[@SeamlesslyCreating]

Definitely need to add some of these to my reading list! Thanks for sharing!

[@_KendraChristine]

Yay! I would love to hear your thoughts if you end up reading any of them :)

[@happyvictory6205]

Awesome list! Also read, ‘The Untouched Part’. It definitely grew my faith.

[@_KendraChristine]

Great! Thank you for that suggestion :)

[@ari9525]

great recommendations! i would love to read humility and Mrs. Stuckley’s book! Thanks for the video, hope you are doing better!

[@_KendraChristine]

Thanks Ari! Those are great books 😊

[@makayla2573]

i actually found a copy of strengthening your grip at one of my local thrift stores and picked it up because I remembered you mentioning it in another one of your videos. thanks for the recommendation! I may have never picked it up without your video :)

[@_KendraChristine]

Oh that’s such a great find!! I’m so glad you did!😊

[@marcelpool4377]

Great video! It also reminds me thatI have some unread Andrew Murray and Charles Swindoll books on my shelf. But the ones you presented I didn't know. The Randy Alcorn book is high on my wish list. And I love the Corrie ten Boom books... And John MacArthur. Oh well, all the books you mentioned sound interesting! Greetings from Belgium :-)

[@MAPologeticsIPeter315]

One of the best lists of recommended Christian books that I've found here on KZbin. I've read many of these and am familiar with the others.

[@psalm19creations]

These all sound so good! I really want to check out Managing God's Money soon. One I read this year that I loved and that has a lot of different topics is Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask by Mark Mittelberg. It's great for getting answers to hard biblical questions that non-believers often ask.

[@_KendraChristine]

Oooh that one sounds great! Definitely putting it on my list!

[@mirandacooper9229]

I was waiting to see if The Hiding Place was on your list! It is a book that has definitely stuck with me and challenged my faith! Will check out the other recommendations ☺️

[@_KendraChristine]

Aw yay, I love that! It’s such a good one!

[@culturamaterna]

Great list!!!

[@nothanks4469]

Love your recommendations! I strongly recommend Calvin's A Little Book on the Christian Life and Spurgeon's Encouragement for the Depressed. Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by another Puritan author (Thomas Brooks) blew me away, too--it cuts deep and is still 100% relevant.

[@_KendraChristine]

Those sound amazing!!

[@booknerdktree]

The Hiding place is one of my favorite books! You're not enough and that's okay on my list of books to get & read! Loved the video!

[@zoeoyefusi8006]

this video does not have enough likes! thanks so much, i love your calm and gentle nature. I will definitely give feedback.

[@chelseyyy_0]

i like Humility by Andrew Murray!! ❤ i recommend reading Good Morning Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn and My All For Him by Basilea Schlink

[@gracefilledreads]

Hello there! I haven't read any of this so thank you for sharing 💕

[@trevorreads]

Great list! I’m uploading my own list in a couple days!

[@KJKP]

Best Christian book I ever read is “100 Ways God Speaks to You.” Also, Anything by Derek Prince, “Church Shift” by Sunday Adelaja, and “15 Secrets of Prayer Warriors” by Robert Avila. Read those, and by the time you’re done, you’ll have a revived, invigorated, exciting relationship with God and the way you view life.

[@user-vr9dm9sb1v]

I like your videos Kendra I have purchased so many good books that you recommended thank you. At the top of my tbr pile is Managing God's Money. Happy Reading :)

[@_KendraChristine]

That’s great!! I really hope you enjoy them as much as I do 😊

[@heaven9378]

I am terrible with money so will definitely buy the Randy Acorn book, thank you for the recommendation

[@_KendraChristine]

Of course!! I hope you like it as much as I did!

[@storydoc2115]

I recommend a book by Rebecca Deng called "What They Meant For Evil." It would be great if you could review it on your channel! Rebecca was one of the first unaccompanied refugee children to enter the United States in 2000, after South Sudan's second civil war took the lives of most of her family, Rebecca's story begins in the late 1980s when, at the age of four, her village was attacked and she had to escape. The book made me look at Josephs story in Genesis in a new way. I ended up doing an interview with her for my channel.

[@EnochnKale]

The Hiding Place, great black and white movie New subscriber here! Loved your picks on this video.

[@Alliappalachian]

Love this! I LOVED The Hiding Place! I listened to the audiobook and it was amazing! I definitely need to read these books they sound so good! Especially the John MacArthur book I really love his books and study bible! I'm pretty new to reading Christian nonfiction but The Truth War by John MacArthur really helped me and the devotional I'm currently reading is My Utmost for His highest by Oswald Chambers and it's so good! Very deep! I have to read it a couple times to fully understand it. It really makes you think! I definitely want to read more of Chambers. And Spurgeon! He has so many books! Lol

[@heaven9378]

I just bought Allie Beth's book and I love her podcast, have you read The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (I am still reading) it's such a good book on salvation, sanctification and obedience

[@_KendraChristine]

That’s awesome! And Bonhoeffer’s book is on my list! I definitely want to read it!

[@richdollars9799]

Great recommendations. Humility & Right Thinking In A World Gone Wrong sound like interesting reads.. (Can't forget about; Managing Gods Money)

[@Sad_Cat_Epiphany]

This list is absolutely phenomenal! My wife and I have read many of these. Here is a list of books that have absolutely changed my life: Spiritual Depression by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones The Mortification of Sin by John Owen A Display of the Person of Christ by John Owen Heaven Taken by Storm by Thomas Watson How Long, O Lord by D. A. Carson The Gospel Comes With a House Key by Rosaria Butterfield The Pleasures of God by John Piper A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael by Elizabeth Elliott George Whitefield Biography by Arnold Dallimore

[@bethanyr645]

Also another series that I love is called the Hawk and the Dove series by Penelope Wilcock. One of the books described Jesus’s death and I sat on my bed and cried because of how powerful the words were. They showed me that He gave all.

[@janecarter4431]

I read the Hawk and the Dove series three times, and cried every time!

And I feel you on the humility part.. God's had to open my eyes these past few months on my humility issue. At first I'm like no no no, I'm very humble! Now, I'm like oh... wow ok I see it 😂😂😂

[@kennethrobinson7764]

Thank you. I was looking for books to strengthen me as a Christian besides the bible...of course, is always number 1 but I want to expand my mind and my way of thinking even more. I want to be able to teach ppl things and grow even more. I want my mind as Holy, humble, meek, obedient, and have as much faith as anyone that is a pastor that has been a pastor for many years. I want to really be able to transform myself with books and knowledge. I do read the book of Jasher and I have the book of Enoch also. Thank you for this list. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

[@ishah4714]

Some great recommendations here Kendra! Adding a few to my ever growing wish-list. It would be hard to condense my all time favourite/ most recommended christian non-fiction reads...it would turn into a 5 part essay! But a few from this year have been 'Trusting God' by Jerry Bridges, and classic John Macarthur goodness in the books 'Jesus Unleashed' and 'Final Word'.

[@_KendraChristine]

It’s so hard to narrow them down, I’ll probably have to start doing my favorites of the year! Thanks for those suggestions, definitely adding them to my list!

[@amriddle8]

I have read Allie Beth Stuckey's book, "you're not enough". I had read it, thinking I would read many points that I had already known or thought of. It was more challenging than I thought it would be. I have currently started "We Will Not Be Silenced" by Erwin W. Lutzer and "Faithfully Different" by Natasha Crain. I would highly recommend both in order to understanding what is happening in our world today. I would also recommend "Awake and Alive to Truth" by John L. Cooper, "Divided Nation" by Ken Ham, "Quick Answers to Social Issues" by Bryan Osborne and "Quick Answers to Tough Questions" by Bryan Osborne and Bodie Hodge.

[@Priscilla_Bettis]

Right Thinking sounds so interesting. I just finished With by Skye Jethani which I really liked. Now I'm reading God's Crime Scene by J. Warner Wallace. It's an apologetics book, really good!

[@daniellekramer93]

I’m currently reading Madison Prewett’s book. You might have watched her on The Bachelor from Peter’s season.

[@RociosLibrary]

Culture Shock by Chip Ingram. Definitely think it’s something you’d like. Jesus > Religion by Jefferson Bethke & The Daniel Dilemma by Chris Hodges. If you are interested in Apologetics; I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist by Frank Turek, Tactics by Greg Koukl, Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and Cold Case Christianity by J Warner Wallace.

[@ItsEverythingEuodia]

You should try reading Seeking Allah Finding Jesus by Nabeel Q. It's such a great book

[@_KendraChristine]

Yes!! That one has been on my list for a while, I definitely want to get to it!!

[@ItsEverythingEuodia]

@@_KendraChristine yayyy

[@bethanyr645]

I loved The Hiding Place when I read it. I believe it brought tears to my eyes (it’s very atypical for me to cry while reading unless the story is very moving). Also the series that has really helped me grow in my spiritual journey this past year is Left Behind: The Kids. I have yet to read the original Left Behind series but I do own them. Those books help put things in perspective and bring deep comfort since so many scary things our happening in our world.

[@_KendraChristine]

I think we read the Left Behind series as a family when I was a little kid, I remember liking them! I totally forgot about them until you mentioned it!

[@kristismyk1930]

One I really enjoyed that has different topics is 9 Common Lies Christians Believe by Shane Pruitt. Also very different but the Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian is so good!

[@_KendraChristine]

That sounds so up my alley! Definitely added them to my list! Thanks Kristi!

I read humility by Andrew Murray. It’s really a blessing book. You may check out these two books by A.W.Tozer: the knowledge of the Holy and the pursuit of God. I don’t know if you have read Pilgrim’s progress. I suppose you read it

[@bimalrai2353]

salient books i licked your recommendation

[@booksofa.i.m.3698]

Hi! So...a book that has challenged a specific facet of my faith is "God over Good" by Luke Norsworthy. It's a candid account about a young man (the author) who is (1) a pastor and (2) struggles with doubt and making sense of both God and the world. It's specifically geared toward Christians who find it difficult to reconcile their faith with their doubt(s), but broad enough for a wider audience. It's an easy read while still thought provoking--especially, if like me, you don't agree with something but cannot discredit his position on x because it's currently where he stands in his walk with the Lord (hope that makes sense). I'd recommend this to (1) its targeted audience and (2) Christians who are mature in their faith and able to agree and/or grapple with many of the things he tackles in this book. 4 out of 5 stars for me.

[@lovelydaywithholly]

I love your book videos Kendra!! I’m gonna have to put Humility on my TBR!! I read You’re not enough because of you & Cate and really enjoyed it!

[@tylerzechar]

I really enjoy your book related videos. I would definitely recommend Jesus Unmasked by Todd Friel. It’s really good. I think it’d be a book to get for an unbeliever, too.

Looks like a great list of books, thanks for sharing! Some titles I am familiar with, but definitely a few that I wasn’t and will be adding to my list. I just heard someone else speaking highly of Murrays book on humility, so I need to check that out. Here are a few titles that I’ve found to be challenging/instructive/encouraging in my walk with Christ. Holiness - JC Ryle Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul - Octavius Winslow Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed - John Owen As a bonus book I’ll list Salvation in Full Color by Richard Owen Roberts. Actually, it’s edited by Roberts because the book is a collection of sermons by preachers from the period of the Great Awakening (could be some more difficult reading among them, but not all difficult, I think). I’m calling it a bonus book because I haven’t read it yet, I just got it. But I’ve been listening to a podcast that Media Gratiae produces which is going through it, and I’ve found it to be extremely helpful and enjoyable. Because of that I expect to really benefit from the book. Regardless, I highly recommend the series Salvation in Full Color from the podcast The Whole Counsel (hosted by John Snyder and Chuck Baggett). kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHbchpmpeKx1kLs I had a hard time finding the book anywhere at first, but finally did find a link to this site that has it: www.rorbooks.com/index.php/product/salvation-in-full-color-twenty-sermons-by-great-awakening-preachers/
