Consider: “Living Well, Spending Less”

Living Well, Spending Less by Ruth Soukup is a book that speaks more to living than spending, so don’t expect in-depth budget analysis, but hopefully we also spend more time living than spending.  Here are two excerpts from this practical book:

While I’d like to think this book can change your life, the reality is that true change will come only through prayer. The upcoming chapters of this book will contain more practical tips than you will probably know what to do with. We’ll talk about choosing contentment, finding our sweet spots, setting goals, becoming more disciplined, clearing our lives of clutter, establishing a budget, saving money on food, keeping a clean house, and learning to appreciate all the things that money can’t buy. I truly hope those ideas will help and encourage you to lead a simpler, happier, and more productive life. But I can tell you right now that nothing else in this book will mean anything without continual, wholehearted, and passionate prayer.

If we aren’t perfectly clear about what is most important in our lies, it is easy to be swayed by anything that comes our way.

Consider : “Risen Motherhood”

Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments is a book recently published by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, of the Risen Motherhood podcast. Although it is addressed to moms, the book is full of hope for all believers. The power of the gospel shines through for all situations and “everyday moments.”

Here is a brief excerpt from this book:

By placing our joy, trust, and hope in Christ rather than our situation, our hearts will have a solid, unwavering foundation to rest in regardless of our ever-changing environment…

Mom, God has not left you to battle the dragon aloe. Trust in the promises of God. Believe you are united with Christ. Exchange your worries, fears, and anger with the worship of our good and loving Father who sent his Son to battle on your behalf. Remember that nothing is meaningless in the Christian life. God uses wayward circumstances to reveal the waywardness of our hearts. Each day, as you feel the pressure mounting, the accusations accumulating, the temptations luring, look to Christ to be all you need. He is strong where you are weak. He is perfect where you fail. He is your fullness when you are empty. He slays the dragon when you need a hero.
