My Reading List for 2015

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

I had some time this weekend to sit down with my planner and look over my spiritual priorities and think about what things I would like to accomplish in our home this year.  I love setting goals on closet cleanings, rooms to organize and cupboards to clean out.  Since I live in Wisconsin, the next three months we hibernate – really I’m not kidding.  We woke up today and it was minus 10.

I do love the winter months to wear comfy, warm clothes and cozy up by the fireplace with a good book (or my Kindle).  Part of my yearly planning is to set a goal of books I would like to read this year.  Sometimes they get carried over from last year because I never got to them or sometimes I get distracted by books I didn’t think to put on my list and they become my next read.

Here is my hopeful list for 2015 and at the bottom I listed some of my favorite reads from last year’s list (if you notice there were a lot of distractions).  We’re currently reading Jesus Unmasked by Todd Friel as a family and loving every chapter!

Own Your Life by Sally Clarkson
Ordinary by Michael Horton
The Next Story by Tim Challies
The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis – We have tickets to see this through the Fellowship for Performing Arts so we may read this one together as a family.  
The Glory of Heaven by John MacArthur
40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible by Robert L. Plummer
Conversation Peace by Mary Kassian
Knowing God by J. I. Packer
The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs
Fool-Proofing Your Life by Jan Silvious
Surprised by Motherhood by Lisa-Jo Baker
For the Family’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
Some of my Favorites from 2014:

Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Diebler Rose
The Hardest Peace by Kara Tippetts
Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin
Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney
Crazy Busy by Kevin DeYoung
Big Girls Don’t Whine by Jan Silvious
Desperate by Sarah Mae & Sally Clarkson
Guiltless Living by Ginger Hubbard
Pursue the Intentional Life by Jean Fleming
Missing Jesus by Charles & Janet Morris

Discipline: The Glad Surrender by Elisabeth Elliot

What about you?  What were some of your favorites from last year?  What’s on your reading list for the year ahead?

    My husband and I are reading The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment together right now and it has already been a blessing! It’s a very deep, rich, and thought provoking book so it’s nice to discuss it with someone lol. My husband is also reading The Glory of Heaven and highly recommends it.

If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we m If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we must look first at the Cross, where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God’s love for us.⁣
~ Jerry Bridges
Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly deli Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly delighted in the law of the Lord and meditated on it day and night. Jesus is like the tree planted by streams of water. His life was abundantly fruitful, and all that He did, He prospered. His life, death, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of sinners—all those who can’t live up to the demands of Psalm 1 but put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.⁣

Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied several of the Psalms together. My Psalm to share a message and put together some study questions was Psalm 1, and I wanted to share my time from that study with you today. ⁣
⁣
Psalm 1 is one I memorized years ago, and I thought I was pretty familiar with it until I studied through it. So I hope when you listen to the podcast below or read the post, it will open up Psalm 1 to you a bit more. ⁣
⁣
I’m including in the links a PDF download of the study questions I shared with my ladies group if you’d like to do a mini-study on Psalm 1 in your own time.⁣

Treating your husband with respect is not somethin Treating your husband with respect is not something that your husband must first earn; it is something that you choose to show him.  It is an underlying heart’s attitude that is to be prevalent regardless of your circumstances and in spite of your feelings. ⁣
⁣
How respectful are you to your husband?  The way you talk to him? About him? We’re going to tear apart Ephesians 5:33, in which we as wives are not suggested to but commanded to show respect to our husbands whether or not we feel he deserves it.⁣
