wait! i just realized she "waited" in think like a man (obviously not until marriage) and then she waited in her marriage in real life. i wonder if that was on purpose haha.
Best Christian book I ever read is “100 Ways God Speaks to You.” Also, Anything by Derek Prince, “Church Shift” by Sunday Adelaja, and “15 Secrets of Prayer Warriors” by Robert Avila. Read those, and by the time you’re done, you’ll have a revived, invigorated, exciting relationship with God and the way you view life.
This is so good! Gary Thomas also has a book called "The Sacred Search" (its like a prequel to the sacred marriage) and it has CHANGED my outlook and perception of marriage and dating/"finding the one". Highly recommend for anyone that's currently single and looking to marry. Also recommend "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" by Pete Scazerro. Great book on the importance of being emotionally healthy in your Christian walk, and how it immensely impacts and benefits your spiritual life as well. Those are my few suggestions 😄
Dr. Myles Munroe was truly one of the most prolific and greatest teachers of our time! His sermons/books have truly impacted my walk with Christ and my life as a Kingdom citizen here on earth! God Bless!
I love Gifted Hands Ben Carson. I cried when I read it. I have learnt that with God all things are possible. We must not give up. Whe we put God first He will work things out. We should speak life over our family.
Girl!!!!!!! I took your recommendation and got the purpose and power of prayer by Monroe and wow. It’s like my prayer has a new dimension with God. Very amazing book
“The Bait of Satan” SOOOO good and eye opening. I’m also enjoying The Bible Study. I’ve never read the entire Bible before from Genesis to Revelations and these books help. The Bible is so good!
Thank you! I'm always looking for Christian and biblically-based books to read that don't all have to do with marriage, so thank you for including some in your list!
Would def like to see a video specifically for Bible study, also "Don't Settle for Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts really did it for me. Thanks for the recommendations! ☺️
I was actually looking for books I could read really helpful sis. A book I really recommend is "Gay Girl Good God" by Jackie Hill Perry. This book transformed my view of sin and enlightened me on how to handle situations and people still in sin. I also recommend "Get out of your head" by Jennie Allen. This book is like a whole therapy session 😅.
A really good book that I’ve read is called “The Butterfly and the Violin” it’s a story about a woman looking for a specific painting, it’s original. And the story that’s behind that painting is based off of when the Holocaust started. Such a godly and faith based book. It’s REALLY good!
Beautiful recommendations! Thank you for sharing. I recently read "Woman Evolve" by Sarah Jakes Roberts and it was truly impactful. She uses the biblical example of Eve to reveal parts of ourselves, and how we should flip the narrative from blame to understanding because we've all been Eve, yet can still evolve.🙏🏾😇💜❤
Just added this to my book list!! My goal is to read 100 books (50 fiction & 50 none fiction). Last year I read 71 books without even trying. I loved the Christian book "Single, Dating, Engaged, Married: Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age" by: Ben Stuart.
Jennie Allen is on my purchase list. I read the sample of Amazon and I really loved it. I tried to do the Get Out of Your Head plan on the bible app and I couldn't get into until I read the sample on Amazon.
I would HIGHLY recommend "When God Writes Your Love Story" by Eric and Leslie Ludy. Especially before you get into a relationship and if you are struggling with singleness
A few years ago, I was blessed to read their book. I can also recommend it. Also, a Minister-writer-Author myself, I'd love to submit, One of my own. "While Stars Dance! Love Endures ~Shielded in Armour! by Kathy JoyM. "Some call it, "Serendipity," but me, "Predestined Purpose with a Challenge!" Be Blessed.
Thank so much for these books recommendation. As a believer (baby Christian), growing deep in the Scriptures, I recommend the Amplified Version Bible. A very big thank you for your weekly videos 🙏🏻
I recently started watching your channel! I love your content! It’s so funny, I just finished reading “the Wait” and was thinking today I need another one and your video popped up!! Like, okay God - I hear you!!
On the Other Side of the Garden of Eden by Virginia Ruth Fugate is literally the most eye-opening book I have read thus far. This woman truly breaks down the naturally manifesting effects of “the fall” and why it is extremely vital to our existence to live a lifestyle of biblical womanhood. I highly recommend for ALL women, single or married. Her husband also wrote what I guess you can call a “manhood” version (haven’t read myself), which I’m sure would be life-changing for couples to read side-by-side.
Will be checking some of these out after I read The Circle Maker Praying Circles around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest fears. So excited to get deep into this book. My sister recommended it to me. Read the first two chapters and was inspired. I realized today that my dreams and goals do scare me to the point where I shut them down and keep on with life. That's changing for me though.
The Purpose and Power of Prayer totally revolutionised my prayer life. I remember when I read a few pages I had to stop and silently worship God for an hour it was so powerful.
Kekeya, Pilgrims Progress was such a hard read, but so me in so many ways. Didnt get to finish it. I'm reading Inside Out by Larry Crab, another hard read, but so true to life!
I really liked The Power of Right Believing by Joseph Prince! It's all about understanding how to truly live in forgiveness and not back slide into guilt and sin. Totally changed my walk with God! Thank you for all the recommendations Melody & other sisters :) Definitely made a list!
I'm still reading this book but would highly recommend The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst! Especially for us Christian women who feel like we have to do it all.
Sacred Marriage is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I re read it every couple of years. Should be on everyones list, even if you’re in a season of singleness. Thank you so much for this video!! Can’t wait to read some of these!!
Side note the fact that you, were a vipkid teacher is awesome cause I was trying to be one but I was going through something with my mom at the time and failed my last interview.
"Marriage does not make you happy" learned this revelation several years after being married and still learning. Will definitely check out all these books!
Notification Gang 💃 The Purpose driven Life has changed my life too. It's definitely a must read!!! Looking forward to reading the other books I haven't read.
I read 'How you can be led by the spirit of God' By Kenneth E. Hagin. And I loved it! I want to read it again and really study it 😊. I’m a new subscriber btw.
The books that I found the most helpful are by Henry Cloud and John Townsend : "Boundaries", "Safe People", "The Power of the Other", "Necessary Endings", "Changes That Heal", "Boundaries in dating.
“Honest to God” by Charlie W Starr has changed my perspective on how to honestly and sincerely approach God in prayer! Has changed my prayer life for the good!
Woman Evolve by Sarah Jakes Roberts😭 this book has literally changed my relationship with myself and seeing God's hand in the details of moving forward. Highly recommend it
I also liked captivating. There was one point in the book I didn’t agree with, which was when she basically illustrates using sex or withholding sex. Otherwise it really opened my eyes to the same things you described. I’m definitely going to read the African American historical fiction book. I love historical fiction. I typically go for WWII historical fiction but I’m very interested in the book you mentioned! Love this video
I got Sacred Marriage @ a thrift store years ago and only read the first few chapters. As I get closer to my engagement, I think it’s time to pick it back up ad read it :) Thanks for these recommendations.
Hi Melody! I really enjoyed captivating too! It helped me value feminity and a woman's heart far more than I had before. And another one I adored is called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It does an amazing job showing how much God loves us and can heal even our deepest wounds
Greetings from the Bronx ,NY !! I just came across your channel, and so far have been hooked on all your videos 🙌🏼 I love your energy & aura I officially subscribed today 💕thank you for the content :) stay blessed
Melody, thanks for sharing the books that changed your life. I would definitely love if you can do a video on how you study the bible. I love your faith based videos.
Awesome list! Gary Thomas is the truth. I recommend classics such as anything by A.W. Tower and C.S. Lewis. I love My Utmost for His Highest (Oswald Chambers) and A shepherd's guide to Psalm 23 (Phillip Keller) really added depth to my understanding of God's care for us. Disciplines of a Godly Woman (Barbara Hughes) is a multifaceted treasure 📕
The Worry Trick by David A Carbonell and the Lipstick Gospel by Stephanie May Wilson both were such amazing books that changed my life in so many ways.
I have a friend that feels alone all the time and I'm trying to find her a book that she can read that can help her know she isn't alone that God is always their I would really appreciate anyone that recommends any book , thank you and God bless you
I know this might sound exaggerated & cliche but reading books can literally change your entire life, it’s the type of books you read that’s important & would recommend people read more Christian journey.
I’m adding the sacred marriage although I’m not even in a relationship 🤣.
Im doing the same thing
For later
Same
ME😂
Me too!
The Purpose Driven Life completely changed my life 😭 it’s the reason why I’m growing spiritually & I love the fact that it’s practical.
Same ❤
Seeing that I'm from The Bahamas, I really love that you mentioned Dr. Myles Munroe. May he and his wife rest in peace. 🙏🏾 God bless! ❤️
🙏🏾♥️♥️
My fav country
The WAIT by Megan Good and Franklin was life changing and really helped me to remain celibate, Holy and pure before the Lord.
wait! i just realized she "waited" in think like a man (obviously not until marriage) and then she waited in her marriage in real life. i wonder if that was on purpose haha.
Best Christian book I ever read is “100 Ways God Speaks to You.” Also, Anything by Derek Prince, “Church Shift” by Sunday Adelaja, and “15 Secrets of Prayer Warriors” by Robert Avila.

"What On Earth Am I Here For?"
This is so good! Gary Thomas also has a book called "The Sacred Search" (its like a prequel to the sacred marriage) and it has CHANGED my outlook and perception of marriage and dating/"finding the one". Highly recommend for anyone that's currently single and looking to marry.
Also recommend "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" by Pete Scazerro. Great book on the importance of being emotionally healthy in your Christian walk, and how it immensely impacts and benefits your spiritual life as well.
Those are my few suggestions 😄
Thank you for adding that
Dr. Myles Munroe was truly one of the most prolific and greatest teachers of our time! His sermons/books have truly impacted my walk with Christ and my life as a Kingdom citizen here on earth! God Bless!
“Becoming Myself” by Stasi Eldridge is one I would highly recommend.
I love Gifted Hands Ben Carson.
I cried when I read it. I have learnt that with God all things are possible. We must not give up. Whe we put God first
He will work things out. We should speak life over our family.
I agree... So so good
Oh I love Christian books that may you cry! I'm gonna see if I can get it from my library. Thanks for that Rose xx
The Bible reads us There are stories in the Bible to fit every situation in our life.
Our God is awesome. God bless you
Girl!!!!!!! I took your recommendation and got the purpose and power of prayer by Monroe and wow. It’s like my prayer has a new dimension with God. Very amazing book
Sacred marriage changed my life and marriage. This year is our 9th year married and I wish I had that book in the beginning of my marriage.
"More than pretty" by Erica Campbell changed my life. 🥳Great video aswell!
Looooove this ❤️ it’s so crazy how books can change your whole mental more than watching a movie can.
Yup, I'm with you on that one Souf. 👍🏽
“The Bait of Satan” SOOOO good and eye opening. I’m also enjoying The Bible Study. I’ve never read the entire Bible before from Genesis to Revelations and these books help. The Bible is so good!
Thank you! I'm always looking for Christian and biblically-based books to read that don't all have to do with marriage, so thank you for including some in your list!
I agree, thanks for not only telling us about marriage books.
I agree Courtney and it's great to get back into the art of reading 🤓
Definitely read ‘The Untouched Part’.
Would def like to see a video specifically for Bible study, also "Don't Settle for Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts really did it for me.
