Recommended Christian Books
What Women Fear
Written by Angie Smith
“Angie Smith bares her soul and says what most women would be afraid to. However, I would guess almost every woman could relate to all or at least part of her fears. This book was such a blessing to me, and I highly recommend it.” ~ Heather Hart
So Long Insecurity
Written by Beth Moore
“Reading this book was like having a heart-to-heart with a close friend. It was the first Beth Moore book I had ever read, but after turning the page on the last chapter I felt like I was saying goodbye to a dear friend (and I don’t mean my insecurity – I lost most of that halfway through). While not everything in this book applied to me, the parts that did were profound. It literally changed my life.” ~ Heather Hart
The Heart That Heals
Written by Patsy Burnette
“The Heart That Heals has helped me move beyond past hurts I’ve been carrying for years. It’s very inspiring and practical. It’s also helping me learn to pray better. I love the notes sections for reflection. It was easy to read and full of Gospel truth.” ~ Valerie Riese
Overcoming Emotions
Written by Chip Ingram & Dr. Becca Johnson
“Through prayer, I have been learning to apply the concepts from this book, and it’s changing not only my life, but the entire day-to-day relationships and dynamics in my home.” ~ Valerie Riese
Audacious
Written by Beth Moore
“Audacious is woven with the love of Jesus in a way that jumps right off the pages and into your heart. I highly recommend it.” ~ Heather Hart

The Hope Planner
