The journal of Elizabeth Prentiss, began in 1831 when she was 16 and completed 2 weeks before her death. I was greatly inspired by the way she lived out of the love of God. Once she understood that truth, her whole life changed. I also really enjoyed seeing the work of God over the course of one person's life. I was reminded that God is changing me and maturing me, even though I can't see it. I was surprised how many of her issues were the same as mine! Lots of great quotes and points made in this book. Definitely ministered to me!
This book has literally changed my life. How many books can you honestly say that about? Easy to read, very personal and practical. Reading this book has changed my prayer life for the better, and made me really WANT to pray!
If you haven't already, you have to read this book! An autobiography of two men-a wealthy white art dealer and a black homeless man. When their worlds come together everything changes for them. This book showed me the power of prayer, the power of love, and the closeness and realness of God. This is one of those books where you're laughing out loud one minute and crying the next!

I have read Stepping Heavenward several times. LOVE it. And I would love to read the other two. I think the library may have the 3rd, but maybe, ahem, someone would send the second one to me... :) Keep posting book recommendations! And I'm happy you're blogging again.
You've got me really intrigued, especially by the last two. Perhaps if we EVER can make dinner happen, I can borrow? :)
