Christian Favorites

by April Gilford

Life as a Christian Woman is in its second week now. I am listing a few of my favorite things and people here so you can get to know me better. I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, that Jesus was the son of God and died for our sins, and that he was resurrected to the right hand of God, sending the Holy Spirit to us to guide and comfort us. Beyond that, I am constantly searching to learn just what it is that God wants me to know here in this world so that when I join him in Heaven he will say, “I am pleased.” My favorites are a few things that have brought me peace, laughter, and understanding along the way.

BOOKS

The King James Version Bible
Evidence That Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell
The Case for Christ (and subsequent series) by Lee Strobel
Fiction: The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead

    What a wonderful song April!
    Have you ever seen Mark Lowry live?
    I have once, and it was a blast. The highlight was when he sang “This Little Child”, which he also wrote.
    Thank you for letting us get to know you better.

    All great picks! Do you listen to Celia Witler ever? I saw her perform about 6 years ago and fell in love! My quick post on her awhile back: http://www.findreligion.net/christian-music/

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
