Hello! I am starting to read 3 different books that are written by Christians testifying of how they came to know Christ.
Interestingly, all three authors came from a background of sexual brokenness or abuse. I guess I have a hunger to understand better what it's like to be in and come out of that.
The books are:
Undaunted: one man's real-life journey from unspeakable memories to unbelievable grace... By Josh McDowell with Cristobal Krusen. (Tyndale, 2012)
Out of a Far Country: a gay son's journey to God, a broken mother's search for hope by Christopher Yuan and Angela Yuan. (Colorado Springs: WaterBrook Press, 2011)
And (I haven't gotten this one in the mail yet)
The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield.
I'm super excited to read these and might write some stuff here about them! Also, I heard about these people and their books through radio interviews, and Christopher Yuan is a professor at my alma mater.
Lastly, though I frequently read and listen to things that are nonChristian, there can be only edification in reading books by Christians about the things of Christ. I don't live in a bubble, but I do long for the better things. Just a thought.
Oh i can't wait to hear how you review these books! I'm always looking for good christian books to read!
ReplyDeleteUndaunted was great! It's an easy read so with what little time you have, it might be worth it! Just some of the first stuff is hard to read, with abuse and alcoholism. But the rest of the book is pretty positive!
