I, like Craig, also like to read. I actually like the benefits of reading good books rather than just the reading itself. I have been reading one book lately that has really changed my perspective. It is called, "Lord, Change My Attitude (before it's too late)," by James MacDonald. Read it if you would like to be content, thankful, loving, and full of faith. I especially liked the chapters on contentment and thankfulness. Read it and reap!
Loving God With All Your Mind is a truly life changing book by Liz George. I first read it as a Sophmore in college and it was worth a second read, so I just finished going through it with some of the teen girls. Learn to bring your thought life and emotional life under the control of the Lord and His Word. Bring all areas of your life into submission to Him (some of these areas are mentioned below). This book is written by an excellent author and from a woman's perspective. Read it and Reap!
