Aside from Bishop Vashti McKenzie’s The Big Deal of Taking Small Steps to Move Closer to God,
which has been selected as EEW Magazine’s 2017 “Best Book of the Year,” what notable books are
there to curl up with this summer?
While it’s a tough task to narrow it down, Empowering Everyday Women Ministries’ editors have put
together a very short (and by no means exhaustive) list of 5 additional books to add to your
summer reading list.
Here they are in no particular order:
Don’t Settle for Safe: Embracing the Uncomfortable to Become Unstoppable
By Sarah Jakes
In this book, Sarah Jakes, First Lady of One Church LA, who has been very transparent
about the mistakes she’s made in her life, shares the numerous life lessons she’s learned
along the way with other women also struggling to believe they’re not disqualified by their
pain and past mistakes. Don’t Settle for Safe delves into topics such as allowing the past to
empower the present, choosing to step forward while still being afraid, facing struggles
surrounded by community, finding intimacy with God outside preconceived notions of what it
has to look like, and more. With deeply personal stories of her own, Sarah helps readers find
their way to the right perspective and the confidence to walk toward the best God has for
them.
I Am Number 8: Overlooked and Undervalued, but Not Forgotten by God
By John Gray
David in the Bible was born a number 8–a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued
by everyone except for God. For David, being a number 8 seemed like a curse until the day
God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honored king of
Israel. In I Am Number 8, by John Gray, an associate pastor at Lakewood in Houston, TX,
says, when God sends out an invitation to greatness, His directions don’t always make sense
to us. You may feel like the most invisible, broken number 8 out there, but Pastor John
reinforces the message that God sees your hidden value and is growing you for better
things. Even when you’re an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the
scenes to develop you into a king or queen.
