5 Books Every Christian Woman Should Read

1. For Deepening Your Faith in Everyday Life
“The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer
This book is a much-needed invitation to slow down and make room for Jesus in a world that glorifies hustle. Comer speaks candidly about how hurry is the greatest threat to spiritual life, offering practical steps to adopt a lifestyle of rest, Sabbath, silence, and simplicity.

My Experience: In the busyness of motherhood, careers, and serving others, it’s easy to crowd out intimacy with God. This book re-centers your life on what truly matters. I didn’t realize how much hurry had stolen from my peace until I read this. It challenged me to create space for God, not just in quiet time, but in the rhythms of my day. Now, rest is something I protect fiercely.
