\u201cWhat books would you recommend for women to read together?\u201d<\/p>\n
I get this question a lot.<\/p>\n
Selecting a book to read with other women can be challenging. Do you aim for something practical or something theological? Something easy to read in the busy seasons of life or something that requires a little rigorous study? Whatever your preference, the need is the same. We need sound doctrine. I always counsel women, if you’re willing to meet with others in hopes of growing in your love for God, his word, and his people, find a hearty \u201cmeat-of-the-word\u201d kind-of book.<\/p>\n
Doctrine informs every area of life, whether it\u2019s dealing with road rage, resisting the urge to people-please, examining why I\u2019m mindlessly scrolling on my phone for the fifth time in the same hour, learning to love my husband, or reading that children\u2019s book for the fifteenth time. In every circumstance what<\/em>\u00a0I believe about God is\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0coming into play.<\/p>\n Whole-hearted devotion to the Lord requires a steady diet of the whole word of God. Healthy, life-giving doctrine, received with joy, roots deeply in the soil of the believer\u2019s heart and, fueled by the Holy Spirit, produces fruit to God\u2019s glory!<\/p>\n To my delight, a new<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hope these books serve as a guide for women who have heard the call to \u201cteach what is good\u201d (Titus 2:3)\u00a0and commend the beauty of God\u2019s word to the world with our very lives (Titus 2:5).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[793],"tags":[4024,4025],"class_list":["post-34532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9marks","tag-keri-folmar","tag-the-good-portion","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34532"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34534,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34532\/revisions\/34534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
