I read a ton of fiction. I inhale novels. By July, I’d read something like sixty according to the list I keep on Goodreads. Now I find myself in a season of inhaling non-fiction, feeding my soul in a different way. Today I thought it would be fun to share some of those with you, while also having a link at the end for a giveaway I’m running of Randy Singer’s latest novel and a copy of Tricia Goyer’s Walk It Out. Be sure to enter both!
One book that I am savoring is Holley Gerth’s just released Fiercehearted. The chapters are bite-sized, perfect for devotions, and I’m actually changing it into a journal. At the end of each chapter, I’m writing prayers about what I want God to do in my life as a result of what I’m reading. The writing is lyrical and honest. I love it!
Another book I’m savoring is Tricia Goyer’s Walk it Out. This book is challenging — in a good way — about not just reading the Bible but actually doing what God says. Tricia and her family have done this literally by living James 1:27. This is a book I want to lead as a study at church so I can discuss the application and make sure I don’t run by it with a checkmark because I’ve read the last page.
There are more books on my spiritual TBR pile, but these are speaking to my soul. What are you reading?

I have read a number of nonfiction books especially in the last two weeks of TBR reading.
I love Dallas Willard’s Hearing God. It answered lots of questions I had. I also love anything by Karol Ladd. I have just read Becoming a Woman of the Word and Becoming a Woman of Confidence. Both encouraging and stretching.
Oops It was actually a Woman’s Secret for Confident Living
Those sound like wonderful books!
I’m eager to read Tricia Goyer’s Walk It Out, and I’m doing her read-through-the-Bible challenge as well. I would like to get Whisper by Mark Batterson for my husband, who, as an elder in our church, likes to read books about enriching one’s spiritual life. So many of the books I pass on to him are by women, and I think he’d be interested in this pertinent one by a male.
Suzanne, I think Tricia’s book is going to be challenging if we read to apply. And I know what you mean about giving books to our husbands. Mark Batterson also has a book called Play the Man that I got for my husband.
I just received Tricia Goyer’s “Walk It Out,” and will be starting that today!
I’d love to know what you think as you read it.
I am reading Adorned by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, and it is excellent! It has really made me more aware of my words and actions and how to encourage others.
i need to read more non-fiction
I have just finished re-reading Traveling Light by Max Lucado and have now started Chazown by Craig Groeschel. I have Whisper on my wish list and added the other two that you mentioned. Lots of good reading ahead! 😊 Blessings on you!
Love all the great books that are available to us. I need to add the ones you’re reading to my list.
I’m looking forward to reading Jan Karon’s To Be Where You Are.
That will be a good one!
The Lacemaker by Laura Frantz!
I would love to read Holly Gerth’s fierce hearted!
I love her writing.
