Mainstream Books I Still Recommend

Mainstream Books I Still Recommend Since Reading with Biblical Conviction

Publishing seems to have lost its mind, but there are still a few gems out there that are worthy of reading. Let's chat!

Hey there!

What a wild ride it's been for me sorting through my library and offloading books that don't align with Biblical values.

It feels daunting but also freeing! It's a slow but meaningful process... and I'm only halfway done.

Sorting through titles has helped me to see that not all of my mainstream collections need to go. I've compiled a living list of books for the Christian woman. This list is meant to be your go-to when deciding your next read.

Some are Christian fiction. Some are traditional fiction. Some are nonfiction! Hey, nonfiction can actually be pretty great!

I've linked it for you below!

ALSO - see below how you can enter to win a FREE book or Bible study for yourself! Winner will be drawn next week!

ICYMI - a steam mop changed my life

In case you missed it, I shared on Instagram that a steam mop changed my life. Yes, that's dramatic but it's so true. This tool has completely changed the way I view mopping. It's as hassle-free as you can get. Hello, it does the scrubbing for you!!

It makes quick mopping after toddler meals feel a breeze. I don't have to load a bucket of water. I don't have to use toxic chemicals. I don't even have to refill the water chamber every time. What a win.

If you want less stress in your life, you need a steam mop. I'm being so serious. Clean floors = Calm mind

You'll thank me.

You can always reply directly to this email if you need a recommendation for something specific or just want to chat!

Thankful for you!
