The Golden Shelf, All Time Favorite Books!

          The Golden Shelf ~ Life Changing Books





   Reading is a love of mine ever since I can remember.  My teenage son loves reading which is weird so it must be in our family DNA! Going to a library is like a sanctuary to me. Quiet and peaceful and full of so many possibilities! I was thinking the other day if I had a golden enchanted book shelf that included the top books that have impacted my life and only ten books are allowed on this special shelf, which books would I pick? Here are my all time ten inspiring books starting from the least to the best book!


10. Uninvited, by Lysa TerKeust

I put this as number 10 because it is the book I am currently reading and I'm only 3/4 through the book. As I am reading this powerful book I am already thinking this is going to be a life book. It's a book about rejection, feeling unworthy, and goes to core to find out why and how to overcome these feelings. It's a book to read slowly and study and reflect on. I just love it!



9. Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers

What a beautiful book! This a modern day story of the book of Hosea. Hosea was married to a unfaithful woman named Gomar. This book is passionate and deep. It shows you how deep God's love is to redeem us.


8. The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman

I first read this book years ago and I still think about the concepts in the book. Such an impacting book in my life. Not everybody gives and receives love the same way. The 5 main love languages are gift giving, quality time,words of affirmation, acts of service and physical touch. This book can help with different relationships you have in your life, your children, love life etc...



7.  Boundaries by, Henry Cloud and John Townsend

When I first read this book I didn't love it. Although it has grown on me and its overall impact on my life has been great. The whole idea of having boundaries is a a core to how I function in my life. Even one of my blog posts is called "Just say No" and is about boundaries.



6. Captivating by, John & Stasi Eldredge

This book is about unveiling the mystery of a woman's soul. I did a major decluttering of all my books after reading the book, The magic art of Tidying by Marie Kondo. Oh man, that book almost made it on the Golden bookshelf!! After I did that, I only had a few books left and this one definitely made it. Woman want to be seen, wanted and pursued. This book was emotional and opened my eyes up to a new way in how I looked at God and how he pursues us and loves us.


5. Quiet by, Susan Cain

I am so glad I found Quiet. I have always known that I am an introvert but this book brought new light to what it truly means to be an introvert. It's not about being shy or socially awkward. It's really about how you refill your energy and introverts refill by being alone and extroverts refill by being with people. The book is slightly complex if you want to read something easier to read on the subject try the Introvert Advantage by Marti Olsen Laney.


4. The Best Yes, by Lysa Terkeurst

Another book by Lysa Terkeurst on the list!  This book is similar to boundaries but more enjoyable to read. I noticed I am drawn to similar books that boost your confidence and this one does that!



3. Morning and Evening, by Charles H. Spurgeon

I bought this book very randomly at the Half Price book store. I didn't know at the time of purchasing it what a treasure I had found! This book gives daily devotions for each day of the year. The words are so beautiful. The words play together in a garden of gorgeous poetry. You can smell and imagine what he is describing with his words. This devotional book is filled with passion and love towards God!


2.   The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan

This book is a Christian allegory that was made in 1678. The author created this book while he was in prison for being a Christian. It is written in old English. That did not stop me from absolutely being engaged in this book! Its an Alice in Wonderland for Christians. We are almost to number one... Drum roll Please!


1. The Bible!


Yes, The Bible! Ever since 1994 when I started to walk with God this has been my go-to book. This book is the most life changing book ever! I love all the other books I have listed but I have to remember that those books are like sides on a plate and I shouldn't go to just have just the sides and not the main dish. When you are connected with the main source it brings so much more wisdom, passion and intimacy with God and brings you back to your first love, something that I have gotten away with all the side dishes. It brings a water that never runs out and renews your mind everyday.  It shows you that are beautifully designed and created for a special purpose. It's Life Giving! It's a Love Story!   It's ...,,,,.My Love Story.......

Is it ok to be Gay?

                            Is it Ok to be Gay?                                                                  It depends on who you are asking? If you ask your best friend, she may be ok with it. You sister may give you all the reasons why it is good and acceptable to be gay. Certainly social media has given it's thumbs up and has promoted it in movies and tv shows etc..     Although when it comes down to it, does it matter to you who you are asking this question to? If you are asking the question to God. Not the "universe, or buddah, mother earth".  If you are interested in wanting to know what the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob yeaaaah, that one thinks, then keep reading.                                                                                          First of all the reason, I am even writing on this subject is because I have been studying the book of Romans in the new testament. I am not a super fan of controversial subjects.

Leggings Leggings Leggings!!!

Leggings Leggings Leggings!!!        Where do I start? Leggings and Skinny Jeans started coming about around 10 years ago I think. I was in my early 30's and it seemed it was very trendy with the teens and college aged. I'm not for one to jump on the any trend wagon that comes around and I tried on maybe one Skinny Jeans back then and said "No Way". Not with my Pear Shaped,booty shakn body!  It's just not going to work! No problemo. Lots of people were still wearing other types of pants. One of my best friend's had the same body type as me and wore some body hugging boot cut jeans and always looked sexy. So that was my go to jeans for forever!          Ok maybe not forever! Year after year more people starting wearing them. Some how it didn't really bother me that much, I was very content in my boot leg world.  I am not super fashionable but like to look nice and somewhat like from this century. I think I had a quick moments thought  about 5 years

She was drinking from a tall goblet. On the goblet it had
