A Book List for Mama
I love sharing book lists for your children, but this one is just for YOU. I chose a number of categories and narrowed it down to my top three books in each. These books (in addition to the Bible) have shaped me as a believer, a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a friend. They are deep, inspiring, and - in my opinion - pure gold.
Save this list for later if you're looking for your next book!
I've made this list a PDF that you can download here. You can also visit my Amazon storefront to purchase these books if you're interested!
