Books

Marriage/Relationships

Arterburn & Stoeker - Every Man's Battle - Challenging book for guys, bring your thought life under control.

MacArthur, John - Different by Design - The role of a man and woman in God's design.

Scott, Stuart/Peace, Martha - The Exemplary Husband/The Excellent Wife - The titles speak for themselves.

Parenting

Tripp, Ted - Shepherding a Child's Heart - "Written for parents with children of any age, this insightful book provides perspectives and procedures for shepherding your child's heart into the paths of life."  Great parenting resource!

Plowman, Ginger - Don't Make Me Count to Three! - "... encourages and equips moms to reach past the outward behavior of their children and dive deeply into the issues of the heart."  A focus on using Scripture as you raise up your children in the Lord - applicable for dads too :).

Biblical Counseling

Ganz, Richard - PsychoBabble - "Explains the dichotomy between secular and Biblical counseling and shows the danger of incorporating secular techniques into a Christian approach."

MacArthur, John - Our Sufficiency in Christ - "... make you newly aware of how completely God provides -- and give you renewed understanding of what it means to be 'complete in Christ.'"

Reading with Children

Lloyd-Jones - The Jesus Storybook Bible - Focuses on the Bible as a (true) love story, in which every single word points to Jesus Christ.  At times each story is a bit too long for Lauren, but we are finding ways to hold her attention while we read (i.e. drawing out the main points of the text in crayon).

Taylor, Kenneth - The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes - Each devotional can be short enough for a wiggly toddler or long enough for a relaxed toddler.  It is also great that in the illustrations Jesus does not have blond hair and blue eyes!

Other - Christian

Lewis, C. S. - The Great Divorce - The author's vision of the "Afterworld".

MacArthur, John - Hard to Believe - "Unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments." ... "The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully following Christ."

Packer, J. I. - Knowing God - The attributes of God ... and brought wonderfully together at the end of the book!

Sproul, R. C. - Chosen by God - Predestination is for all biblical Christians. "Predestination doesn't create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but paints the portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans."

Strobel, Lee - The Case for Christ - Some of the human evidence for the existence of Christ and His resurrection.

Tozer, A. W. - The Knowledge of the Holy - "It bears eloquent witness to God's majesty and shows us new ways to experience and understand the wonder and the power of God's spirit in our daily lives."

Other - General

Goscinny & Uderzo - Asterix - Makes you want to eat almost every time you read the stories!

Rowling, J. K. - Harry Potter - Know that magic isn't real. Make sure you read your Bible so you are not confused by what you read. Remember these books are only fiction - now you can read and enjoy some very fun stories.

Tolkein, J. R. R. - The Lord of The Rings Trilogy - These need no introduction.

Watterson, Bill - Calvin and Hobbes - Awesome comics.
