What to Order from Desiring God
On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Desiring God is offering a sale on all the books in their library - $5 a book!
First of all, if you buy anything, buy Don’t Waste Your Life. Buy it for yourself, to give it to others, to decorate your coffee table… 
It tears away the veil of complacency and points brilliantly to the only importance and satisfaction in life - God.
That being said, here are my personal top four picks and why…
- A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer. This might seem like an unlikely first selection, but for me, fasting and prayer are two of the most difficult spiritual disciplines to practice. I almost never fast, and being committed to prayer is a constant struggle. I’m assuming I’m not alone in this, either.
- Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism. I’ve had access to this book as a resource because my dad has the big blue first edition , but I want to have it for myself because I am so passionate about this issue and how it is shaping and dividing the church. It is an unflinchingly biblical response to the evangelical form of feminism that is subtly or not-so-subtly invading our churches.
- A Godward Life: Savoring the Supremacy of God in All of Life. I own Taste and See, which was originally published as A Godward Life Part II, so I want to own both of these amazing devotionals. Each devotional is around 2-5 pages long, and they’re perfect to finish off a quiet time or to read before bed… or anytime, really… to leave a good taste of God’s supremacy in your heart!
- When the Darkness Will Not Lift: Doing What We Can While We Wait for God - and Joy. Depression is a pervasive force, especially in our society. I’ve struggled with it, and I know many others who have as well. This will be an invaluable resource both for myself and for ministry to others.
So there are my recommendations. No matter which books you buy, be sure to take advantage of this sale!

I have had Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood on my shelf for a few months now and haven’t gotten to it. I think I might come with a slightly different perspective, but oh it looks interesting!
Hey There,
I know the sale is over, but another one to make sure to order is Faithful Women and their Extraordinary God. It is so encouraging for Christian women in all stages of life. I posted review on my own blog for anyone interested in learning more!
