Have you been pondering the question, "What Christian books to read? or best Christian books to read to grow your relationship with God or where to get started as a new Christian?
If yes, then this post will be your answer.
The Bible urges us to work out our salvation in order to grow and mature spiritually.
I am also one of those Christians who believed that if I ever made mistake or have a weakness God will stop loving me and there is no way to get back into his embrace.
Yet the truth was far away from that. I've learned neither life nor death can separate me from the love of God.
Many key resources helped me to obtain that level of understanding and to strengthen my faith. From that treasury, some of the books are listed here.
Go on, keep scrolling.

1. Purpose-Driven Life --- Rick Warren
"What on earth I am here for?" Let's keep it a hundred. At least once in your life, you asked this question to yourself or others, or the creator himself.
In this book, Rick Warren unravels the mystery of the purpose of our lives as Christ's followers. He deciphers the simple yet fundamental steps to grow closer in your relationship with God and fellow humans, one day at a time.
What God wants most from you is,relationship ~ Rick Warren
It's a 40-day study -- one chapter at a time. You can keep your pace slow as you want because some chapters are deep in the way they practically help you understand God's plan for your life.
One thing I can assure you is that you won't see God the same way after you finish this book.
2. What happens when women walk in Faith ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Lysa talks about how Trusting God takes you to amazing places in this book.
With the narration of real-life events from her own life and a sprinkle of stories about her personal encounters with God, this amazing book will let you experience faith in the first person.
It comes with a bible study which is an added perk to dive deep into your daily devotion.
3. Mere Christianity ~ C.S. Lewis
This is the penmanship of the incredible author of the Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis can only make the non-fiction sounds as sexy as this.
It makes you wonder how an ex-atheist fell in love with the sovereign God this much.
He explains and explores the boundaries of religion and the nooks and corners of Christianity from a perspective you never considered before.
Deep and thoughtful are the words I would use to describe this book.
4. Radically Obedient, Radically Blessed ~ Lysa TerKeurst
For most of us, giving up control and obeying God is not a walk in the park, especially when His directions don't align with our plans. But this book sheds light on the blessings of giving God the steering wheel and riding shotgun with him in an adventurous journey called life.
This well-written piece is Lysa's magnum opus.
This book is worth every penny you spend on it and so much more. Her compelling illustrations and inspiring bible insights are a given.
5. Love Does ~Bob Goff
Discover a secretly incredible life in an ordinary world.
Picture this --- A smitten lover preparing a place with twinkling lights and sweet red roses to proclaim his love to his dame.
Bob exemplifies that is how the LOVE himself proclaims his overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love to us. The majestic mountain peaks and the paint-stroked blue skies are the romantic setups, scratch that more like a trap to propose to us.
Even if your answer is not yes, he will persuade you until His love is understood.
What a wonderful picture that is!!!
This book portrays, the "do" part of our faith. How being a Christian doesn't only mean talking about loving others but setting foot down in the field and getting your hands dirty, and living an extraordinary life.
I only got this last week and I am already halfway through the book, trust me it hooks you like that.
If this book does not make your heart beat faster, book the next flight to Mayo clinic ~ Bill Hybels Sr. Pastor, Willow Creek Community church (On his book review)
Bonus
In addition to the above, I thought I could give you another book to read every day.
Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
In case you still don't get it, read the first letter of each word of this book. I don't wanna sound preachy but trust me when I say no book/ted talk/Motivational video can help you boost your confidence in yourself and God more than this book of books. Thus it is a must-try.
Don't consider it a chore, read it like any other book Write down your thoughts and your perspective on it. Re-read it, memorize it. Quote it to people and Have fun.
The Bible is not given to increase your knowledge but to change your lives ~ D.L Moody
