5 Books to get you Motivated for Christ

Kisses From Katie
      Kisses from Katie is a true story about a girl who decided to take a short term mission trip to Africa. She fell in love with the place and the people. She started by teaching a kindergarten class and ended up adopting a houseful of little girls. She also started Amazima . Through the book, you get to watch as an average American girl, barely out of high school learns to die to herself and live for Christ. Apart from the Bible itself, this is my personal favorite book! That's how it got to the top of the list.

Revolution in World Missions
   Through this autobiography you get to watch a boy from a poverty stricken family in India grow up to serve Christ and start Gospel for Asia, a ministry devoted to sending national missionaries to their own people. It's Definitely a challenging book! Also, this one happens to be free, so it's a good place to start!

A Chance to Die
The story of Amy Carmichael, an amazing missionary who devoted her entire life to Christ from a young age, making a huge impact in India. This book about her life shows her dedication to Christ and what He called her to. God has used this account of her selflessness and devotion to convict me of my own selfishness many times.

Do Hard Things
      I've always felt that kids and teens are underutilized and underdeveloped. They are at a perfect age, capable of a certain maturity (I say capable because unfortunately in the US today they do not generally possess it), they are strong, and able to work without having the responsibilities of adulthood. This is an excellent resource for young adults who are seeking to serve the Lord with the years of their youth.

Will Our Generation Speak?
     An excellent book on the underappreciated art of witnessing. This book focuses on the Christian's responsibility to share the gospel and practically how to do so. I would recommend this as a practical start after reading Do Hard Things.

Are there any specific books that get you fired up and ready to serve Christ? I'd love to hear about them! Let me know in the comments!

Catching up

Hello! I haven't written anything since last November. Wow! The time has flown! A number of things have changed in my life, probably more than has ever changed before in such a short time. I'll quickly get you caught up on what's been happening. Courtship First of all, I started courting (not dating) the most wonderful man in the world. On my birthday last January he surprised me by coming with a letter asking me to begin a relationship with him that, Lord willing, would lead to marriage. Graduation Secondly my crazy plan succeed even with all the excitement. By God's grace I finished high school a year early, that's why I'm hoping to be able to keep up with this blog.

Engagement On Memorial Day 2017 My dear Matthew asked me to marry him. With his marvelous perfectionistic tendencies (which I do NOT p...
