1. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

I love the way C.S. Lewis explains the truths of Christianity. He answers questions I didn’t even know I needed to ask and exposes the depths of human nature with honesty and grace. His words often bring me to self-reflection—revealing sin I hadn’t noticed—yet he always leads me back to the boundless love of God. Even when his truths are challenging, they’re wrapped in grace, leaving me with a renewed sense of hope and gratitude.

2. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian

This book taught me the incredible power of prayer—especially within marriage. It guides you through specific areas of your husband’s life to pray over, and I love weaving those prayers into my daily routine. Before reading it, I hadn’t realized just how many aspects of his life I could entrust to God in prayer. It’s a book I keep close by in my basket for easy reference—a gentle reminder that some things are meant for God’s hands alone, and I can rest in that trust.

4. The Lifegiving Home by Sally & Sarah Clarkson

This book opened my eyes to the sacred calling of homemaking. It reminded me how deeply the atmosphere of our homes shapes our families and how important it is to cultivate a space that reflects God’s love—warm, safe, and full of peace. It helped me prioritize what truly matters and taught me to find joy in creating beauty and tradition within our walls. The love and care we pour into our homes today become the memories and foundations our families will cherish for a lifetime.

5. The Well-Watered Woman by Gretchen Saffles

This book felt like a breath of fresh air for my soul. It reminded me that I don’t have to rely on my own strength, wisdom, or striving. Each chapter paints a vivid picture of how easily we can become weary and dry when we try to live apart from Jesus—but how He alone offers living water that revives and sustains us daily. It’s a gentle, hope-filled reminder that a flourishing life is one rooted in Him.

Happy reading,

Your friend, Brooke
