Helpful Life Guides

Being God's Partner - How to Find the Hidden Link Between Spirituality and Your Work, by Jeffrey K. Salkin. Gentle suggestions for incorporating religious life into the workaday world.

A Bend in the Road  - Experiencing God When Your World Caves In, by David Jeremiah.
God is up to something when He sends difficulty our way. Life is not going to be easy. But I do believe that it can be victorious. When you know lmighty God and His Son Jesus Christ, you can ndure whatever is placed before you with trength that the world can’t comprehend. If you don’t know Christ, you must enter the battle without weapons or armor. You fight in your own strength, and you fall on your face.

Confessions of a Happy Christian by Zig Ziglar. America’s superstar salesman reveals the secrets of his fabulous success–and explains how they can help you too.
Those who sit down on their faith and think the Lord is going to serve them on a silver platter are not reading all the scriptures. God expects–make that requires–us to do our best with what we have. He is not going to be the whole ball game (though He obviously could be). God is going to be the difference in winning or losing, but you’ve got to get into the game if you expect God to make that difference.

God Isn't In a Hurry - Learning to Slow Down and Live, by Warren Wiersbe.
You don’t move ahead by constantly looking back. The past is valuable as a rudder to guide us but not as an anchor to drag us back. We must learn from the past, but we must not live in the past.

How to Be The Happy Wife of an Unsaved Husband  by Linda Davis. A particularly helpful book
offering Biblical insights on a sensitive subject.
When you carry around worry and guilt over your husband’s spiritual condition, you are actually 'binding’ him. Each negative thought is like another cord wrapped tightly around his heart, making it harder for the Holy Spirit to get in there and soften it up. This spiritual principle works: release him completely to the Lord, relax, and watch the Holy Spirit take over.

Prayer, Faith and Healing: Cure Your Body, Heal Your Mind, and Restore Your Soul, by Kenneth Winston Caine, Brian Paul Kaufman, and Bernie S. Siegel. Over 500 ways to use the power of belief, from America’s leading pastors, counselors, doctors, and health researchers.
As science is now starting to show and as we in our hearts know, faith can move mountains and prayer can render miracles profound and small. By integrating faith, science, prayer, psychology, Scripture, ritual, and medicine, we can lead more meaningful, vital, healthier and more joyful lives.

What's So Glorious About Everyday Living:  Answers for All Women Who Ask, by Daisy Hepburn. With humor and insight gained from being an ordinary woman, the author challenges other women to alter their perspective on the life they lead, and shows them how to use their gifts and abilities, encourage others, deal with life’s inequities, and respond to circumstances with a thankful heart.
