7 Top Books of 2014

    Books are a great and amazing gift given from God for humans. God Himself wrote a book for humans to read and to learn from. The book is called Bible. I love Bible. It's truly an amazing/awesome/powerful/God inspired book!!! I read it everyday and learn something new from it everyday even though I read it now more than 10 times!
       While I read Bible daily, sometimes I also read books that are written by humans. I try to read books that were written by godly people. There is so much you can learn from reading books! Books can change you, your way of thinking and your way of looking at the world! I strongly encourage people to read books! However, read goods books! (Bad books can bring a lot of damage to your soul.)
        Last year (2014) I read a certain number of books. I  don't read as many books as I used to but I still try to read. I have picked 7 books that had a huge (good) impact on me! I strongly recommend you to read them!!! You will be truly blessed! (Don't forget to read Bible though ;)
       Below, you can see different books on totally different topics. I want to share how I came across these books. I used to buy a lot of books, but not anymore. I don't have much room for them and some books I don't want to keep after reading them. Therefore it's kind of waste of money plus it creates extra clutter. (Although i would hate to call books clutter). Because of this I decided not to buy books! I do buy them sometimes but only if I really need a certain book and there is no other way to get to read it. (This happens rare :). I usually borrow books from people. We also have a great library in my church, so I have an opportunity to borrow books there. Sometimes I even go to Barnes and Nobles to read  books there. I like this way of getting my books because I don't get to pick the books out in the same way I would if I were to buy them. I get what is available because of this I got to read some amazing books that I would not have picked out if I had a choice. I am so glad about how God works things out in my life!!! :D
    So here are the books, these books were all randomly found and they were totally amazing!!! If you can't "find" them, it's totally worth buying them!!!

Its very hard to rate these books from 1 to 7. Every book is very different, unique and amazing in it's own way. Therefore I'm going to list them in the order they are listed in the picture above and they were chosen for the picture randomly ;)

Абрикосовое дерево (Abrikosovoe Derevo, Apricot Tree)

is a great book that was written by Tamara Reznikova. This book is in Russian. It's a very interesting story about a girl who went through different struggles and in the end she found God. Because of knowing God she made right and selfless choices to have a bigger impact on other people. This book, I would call it a romantic novel, I think it's based on a true story. It is super interesting  and there is a lot to learn from it!

Jesus Christ the Master Evangelist written by Philip Delre is a deep book about how to present the Gospel the way Jesus did. In this book Delre helps reader to connect Old and New Testaments together. Then he explains the law. Basically what he writes is that person must understand that he is a sinner... but there is a lot more! Its a must, must read!!! I didn't return this book to the owner yet, I want to reread it again. 

Growing up Duggar is a book written by Duggar four older sisters. I really hope you know about the Duggar family. It's a family that has 19 kids and they try to live biblical way. In this book the four older sisters (daughters) write about important relationships in our lives and how to deal with them. All girls should definably read this book! It has a lot of great suggestions and tips on being a godly girl in all areas of life especially relationships. May God bless this amazing family and help them to always be this godly example for this world!

Seeking Allah, finding JESUS is a book written by Nabeel Qureshi. Quereshi (its hard to write this in few words) is a medical doctor, who is also a christian apologist (how I understand it). He has many degrees :). In this book he wrote about his background, his early life and how he found Jesus. Before accepting Jesus Qureshi researched Christianity and Islam very diligently. He shared in the book what he found out. It's an eye opener!

The Brainy Bunch is a great book that was written by Kip and Mona Lisa Harding. This amazing couple (the authors) have ten children. Seven older children went to college by age 12. Kip and Mona Lisa are an amazing christian couple that worked hard to raise children that love God and children that do their best at what they are good at. Thought out this book Kip and Mona Lisa repeat that their kids are not genius, they just work hard at something that they like to do. Because of this children were able and are able to decide early on what they want to do in future. In this book they try to explain that and encourage parents to look for strengths and likes in their children and develop them more. This book also has a lot of great resources!!!



Знакомство с жизню (Meeting with life) is another great book that was based on a true story. The author of this book is Lyudmila Plett (Людмила Плетт). This book is about a young girl, her life, how she found God and how God helped her go thought life's obstacles and be light in darkest places. This is a very, very interesting book! It is very hard to put it down once you start reading it! It's that good :).

Shepherding a Child's Heart is a great book for parents especially! This book was written by Tedd Tripp. In this book Tripp wrote about how important it is not to take care of physical aspects of child's life but heart as well. It is important to know what if going on in child's life on more an emotional level and help, shepherd the child in a right direction! One way to do that is by asking questions... A great, great book!






I really hoped you enjoyed this super personal book review! Also I hope that you read these books, if not all, at least couple. They are so so good!!!
