Have you already accomplished reading your winter book list or looking to add to it? Here’s four books you cannot skim over.

1. Before Amen: The Power of a Simple Prayer by Max Lucado

It is a fast read, but you will undoubtedly take your time soaking in the fresh take on prayer. This is not a lecture on how you don’t pray enough, but instead, a perfect piece to realize why God gives us prayer and why He listens to us, as well as a pocket prayer to reignite the fire for “prayer wimps.”

2. Sensible Shoes: A Story about the Spiritual Journey by Sharon Garlough Brown

A fresh face to fiction, the profiles of four women and their walk with God inspires the reader. Although the lengthy book is fiction, it is also a book of great teachings in faith. Dig deeper in your spiritual journey with Brown’s brilliant work.

3. How I Changed My Mind about Women in Leadership: Compelling Stories from Prominent Evangelicals by Alan F. Johnson

Prepare yourself for a piece that will challenge your belief on the controversial topic of women in leadership. This is a piece that gives off a personal vibe, removing the common opinion of readings on this topic being intrusive and commanding.

4. Without Rival: Embrace Your Identity and Purpose in an Age of Confusion and Comparison Paperback by Lisa Bevere

Recently released, Without Rival is an incredibly uplifting piece sharing the Truth of God. The world says to conform to its social standard; God says to surrender to him, giving up worldly ways. Learn or refresh your unique identity in Christ.

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” -Ephesians 1:15-17

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
