Resources for the New Year

If you saw our New Years resolutions, you know that a lot of us are resolving to read more books and grow intentionally spiritually, so you better believe we’ve been going to the Resources page for suggestions! We update this page all the time with new books and devotional apps. Check out our favorite new picks for the New Year!

Present over perfect.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1

Present Over Perfect has been a favorite with our counselors recently, and we can see why. Shauna Niequist wants you to live a life of meaning and connection instead of pushing for perfection. 2017 might be the perfect time to let go of all the striving to be perfect and just rest in the grace you are given.

The Thou Art Exalted App is a brand new way for girls and young women to grow in their relationship with Christ through studying His word. Through the app you can find encouraging daily devotionals, scripture reading plans, creative art projects, and so much more. Our very own Cecilia Glenn has even written some devotions for it, so you know it’s going to be good!

New morning mercies.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1

If you’re looking for a new daily devotional, look no further than New Morning Mercies. Paul David Tripp wants you to start your day off right by learning to trust in God’s goodness, rely on His grace, and live for His glory each and every day. It’s been a favorite in our office this January!

She reads truth.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1

This new book from the creator of one of our favorite apps is an encouraging way to start your year. She Reads Truth: Holding Tight to Permenant in a World That’s Passing Away follows the story of two women who find hope in God’s unchanging love through their shifting circumstances. It does not disappoint!

Finding i am.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1

Maybe you’re looking for a more in depth, organized Bible study. If so, Finding I Am should be your next stop. Lysa TerKeurst will guide you through an exploration of the seven I AM statements in the Gospel of John, helping you trade feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing Jesus and all that He is.

For such a time as this.jpg?ixlib=rails 2.1

Fans of The Jesus Storybook Bible will love this beautifully illustrated book of stories of women in the Bible. In For Such a Time as This, Angie Smith beautifully retells Biblical stories from the perspective of the women themselves. It’s perfect bedtime reading for all ages!
