Here's What You'll Find On The Bookshelf of an Ambitious Christian Woman

It's wonderful to build your own little library of books that have truly impacted you. Whether you collect books or give them as gifts, you will love these selections from members of the We Are Ambitious Christian Women group!

I recently polled our group of go-getter Christian women asking what book (other than the Bible) most inspired them and why. I was amazed and intrigued by so many of these, so I thought I'd share this list with you! I think you'll find a few titles here that you'll love. When you purchase through one of my links, you support my writing, so if you choose to buy, thank you so much!

I personally think that a beautifully wrapped book makes for an excellent hostess gift. Do you expect to be invited to some gatherings over the upcoming holidays? Why not shop the wisdom of women! Thank you for looking.

Awesome fiction book that I could not put down! About demons and angels battling throughout a small town of people. Such a great read!

Hinds Feet on High Places



This an allegory written back in the 1950's - in the book the author likens the young woman to a deer called "much afraid" and her family having names such as sorrow and suffering - The Good Shepherd is of course the Lord and the story depicts the love of God for His children. So "much afraid" and her family are on a spiritual journey and they face many challenges and places of danger yet they overcome each hurdle as they learn to trust and believe the good shepherd  It's so much like us in following Gods plan until we hit road blocks along the way and we become like much afraid - insecure and unsure of things. It ends beautifully. Get the book 😀😊

By Jim and Pam Farrell. He is a pastor. They also wrote a book, Men are like Waffles -- Women are like Spaghetti. Both books were a delight to read. We would get a cup of coffee and go by the river or a park and share reading and thoughts and lots of laughter. One suggestion was re-create our honeymoon, well that was Puerto Rico, P.R. didn't happen, but it was still a fun night. The other book explains when we ask our man what is on his mind, and he says "nothing" he really means nothing, he is in his nothing box, waffles, us on the other hand are spaghetti, because we are all over the place and most of the time we can keep track of it all. If your husband or other half doesn't want to read it with you,  I'm not sure if it will be as fun... We loved it, so much so that my husband suggests it to people.
