Books, Books, Books - New (to me) Books

I love to read and I love getting new books! Over the past few months I've added three new titles to my bookshelf and wanted to share them with you in case you need some new reading material in the upcoming new year.





The first is a devotional called He Walks Among Us - Encounters With Christ in a Broken World by Richard and Renee Stearns.



First of all, this is a gorgeous book. Just look at it. It's full of beautiful photographs and it's laid out so well. Richard Stearns is the CEO of World Vision - a huge Christian ministry that specializes in humanitarian aid, development and advocacy of the poor.

In this book, he and his wife share personal accounts and stories of how God is working among his people all over the world.




The next book is One in Spirit - a collection of devotionals written by Compassion staff all over the world. These devotionals have been shared on Compassion's blog and when I was at Compassion's Global Ministry Center in October, I saw this book in the store. Unfortunately I don't think you can buy this book anywhere except at the GMC store in Colorado Springs.




The final book I have to share with you is one I got for my birthday.... Operation World - The Definitive Prayer Guide to Every Nation by Jason Mandryk

This is a wonderful resource for knowing HOW to pray for the people and country where your sponsored child lives. Every country in the world is included in the book and it's full of information about the country, the people and how to pray.

Do you have any new books you want to share with us? If so, please tell us about them in the comments.

'Operation World' is a great book. I have used it many times when giving missions talks at church.
I love "Operation World" also!! It's such a good book and I love how it guides a prayer time!
I love Richard Stearns & Co! I'll have to give these ones a shot. I just finished "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell -- fascinating stuff! And now I'm on to the "The Men Who United the States" by Simon Winchester.
Wow thanks for the reviews.... looks great. Didn't even know that Compassion had a new one out! Hugs
This is a great post, Jill! I've added the "One in Spirit" page to my favourites so I can dip into it and read the devotionals.
The "Operation World" one looks like a great one to add to my library! I just finished reading "A Million Little Things" by Emily Freeman, and just started reading "Found In Him" by Elyse Fitzpatrick.
