Resource List
First of all, I want to say that these books or resources are listed here because they had an impact on me. I feel like the information and insights they contain can cause us to stretch our thinking and see things anew. This might sound pedantic, but I felt it was also important to point out that they don't contain all the answers and just because I found them useful, doesn't automatically mean you will. It also doesn't mean I necessarily agree with everything the author writes/says/does/stands for.
We are all called to weigh and measure the ideas and thoughts that come to us. Just because it sounds good doesn't mean it is true; can we play with the idea and hold it lightly and test it against the wisdom of our elders and scripture? I would love to hear if you read or have read any of these books and how they impacted your life!
