Happy Sunday sis!! And amen 🙏🏽🥹 let’s celebrate the goodness of our Heavenly Father! Praise the Lord sis, I pray these books will be a blessing to you 🥰
"Have you not read-(Jesus)? " It is written"-(Jesus) "Study to show yourself approved" - (Brother Paul) May the Lord use this faith talk episode to restore the reading, and studying culture to the body of Christ in Jesus name. Having known all mysteries, still brother Paul begged his protege Timothy "When you come, be sure to bring the coat I left with Carpus at Troas. Also bring my books, and especially my papers"-(2 Tim 4:13) Father as the day of your Son's coming is at hand make me an avid reader of your Word, and good Christian materials.
Some Christian books I recommend!! 1. "The Best of You" by Allison Cook -- Allison Cook is a christian psychologist! It's an absolutely wonderful book and covers themes like self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience, and she offers biblical tools for overcoming obstacles and fostering positive mindsets. The book includes personal stories from her clients and actionable strategies, Dr. Cook encourages readers to set healthy boundaries, build meaningful relationships, and live authentically!! 2. "Unraveled" by Deanna Loren -- I don't even know where to start!! Such a blessed book, the book is written like a love letter from God. The book helps you to navigate through their your struggles and confront past traumas. God's voice is so gentle and He's breaking the narratives and stories we hold about Him that are from from who He is!!! I can't recommend this book enough!
Yay! I was one of the commenters who asked you to do this video. Thanks so much Deborah! I’m currently reading through Jackie Hill Perry’s, “gay girl, good God”. It is incredible so far. I cannot for the life of me, read non-fiction. But JHP writes in a way that is so captivating. Books don’t make me cry, but this one has 😅. I’m not finished it yet, but I definitely recommend it!
ohh I've heard so many incredible things about it! I'll look into picking it up as well :) Thanks for the recommendation sis and for the video suggestion 😀 I pray that it has been helpful in some way!
Just finished Don't Give The Enemy a Seat at Your Table, loveee it so much, going to re-read it again! Louie Giglio is a great author, going to read your recommendation of "Seeing God as a Perfect Father. Thanks Deborah!
Thank you for allowing The Lord to use you! I’ve been struggling with stagnation and even regression as a long time believer. I found your content a few days ago after praying for encouragement and new zeal… I feel that’s exactly the effect your content has had on me ⚡️🦋
Praise the Lord!! I pray for renewal of the spirit out over you as well as a raised awareness of the father's love for you. May you experience the Lord's presence around you like never before in Jesus mighty name. Don't chase the 'feeling', cultivate a knowing. The Lord is always with you wether you feel him or not 🥰 You're loved beyond measure and it's such a blessing to have you here sis!
Topics to speak of: -Fruits of the Holy Spirit (Jesus) Galatians 5:23 -Being fruitful and faithful during a difficult season (Elijah) - Obtaining character and perseverance (Romans 5:1-5) -The importance of fasting and prayer (King David and Jesus and His disciples in the garden) - Walking in your God giving purpose (Joseph) - Motivation vs discipline - Obedience: Exploring the book of Ruth and her faithfulness to her mother in law "Naomi". I hope this is helpful. A zoom bible study would be wonderful Deborah. I'm excited for the Dutch vlog, i have a friend that will be going to the Netherlands for school so this would be a wonderful way to learn the language 🩷🤍. ❗❗Please be aware of scammers and people giving out numbers for financial counseling.

First one to comment 🥳🥳 Your content is so inspiring. God has used your videos to help me in my walk with Him. God bless you sister 🏽 I can't wait to meet you in person one day when I come to London for my studies 🤗
Ohh praise the Lord 😭🤍 to God be all the glory sis that’s so incredible to hear. I pray that our heavenly dad will continue to encourage and strengthen you as you walk with him. So much to comeee! And definitely let me know when you’re in town 🥹
Happy Sunday! I’m currently reading captivating and I’m crying through it, but it’s so beautiful honestly it’s really reminding you how much the Lord loves you and your feminine nature. Thank you for the recommendations sis!
I've heard a lot of good things about Mere Christianity. The only thing I've read of CS Lewis is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe series which is fictional but Aslan’s sacrifice was actually based off of Our Lord Jesus’ sacrifice for us. I have the ebook of The Screwtape Letters and I'm looking forward to reading that too.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND *"I WAS BLIND (DATING) BUT NOW I SEE" by Stephanie Rische* especially for single ladies who struggle with their walk with the Lord in terms of their singleness era . The first time I saw it on shelf in a second-hand bookstore, I was hesitating but I heard the whisper of the Holy Spirit and so... I bought it. Then I wasnt even expecting anything from it, I read it without any single idea nor expectation to it... But I came out od it with a rating of 5/5 stars! In my opinion, this book really helped me through my walk with the LORD and shifted my perspective in terms of "being a single" and why patience (in asking for a romantic partner) truly matters in our faith journey with God. But I think, the best reason why God gave this book to me is because of how wise, funny, and relatable Stephanie was... And it felt like I gained a friend in her writings, a friend that reminds me that I'm not alone with this journey, and that I'm not the only one who feel this specific feeling of loneliness with my walk with the LORD. ❤❤❤ Do read it.
Would really love a book club ! That will be wonderful or perhaps a London based Bible study ! Will be lovely to get together over the summer. But was wondering if a faith talk regarding finances could be one on your list ! Really struggling with adulting and been really leaning on God regarding how to steward money and manage debt.
This was a great video. I use to read so much and have been edified by many books. I have a entire amazon list full of books I want to buy. I will definitely be adding some of these to the list.
Oh Wow! God always speaks to me through you! I bought the book “How to tell the truth” & I’ve just been letting it sit there for weeks. I finally picked it up the other day & It’s so good & Biblically inspired! Then you post about reading books! Just Another Confirmation ✨🙌🏾 God Bless You Deborah ❤
How to let God into my finances! How do you do it, some tips and pointers. It’s like I really want to let Him in but in today’s society my uncertainty sometimes, perhaps to get another perspective on how it will feel. I feel like no one really speaks on how going through some motions feel it’s just broad strokes but I love how you acknowledge that not all feelings are always “good”
I love you I think you are great and am so proud to see how The LORD is using you to be an inspiration to others. I think a Bible study would be awesome
I will pray for you this week Margo! By the blood of Jesus you have been set free, free of the power of sin. What helped me a lot was opening up to God about it fully! When you're about to do something you know isn't good for you: tell God. It's like opening the door to a dark room. Sin has no power when you let the light in! When God already knows, how can the enemy hold it against you? It will feel very strange to do at first, but only the holy spirit can help you overcome sin. Let him in, and ask for his help. You won't get out of it in your own strength. 2 Corinthians 12:9 🤍 In Jesus name I rebuke the enemy with his schemes over your mind right now!! Amen
Sooo happy to see this video popping up on my notifications!!! ❤ God bless your work as always, thank you for sharing this content with us and blessing our journeys
I always enjoy watching your videos. You make me want to walk a better walk in Christ! It’s not easy to walk on the straight and narrow but the reward is greater and coming to your channel is a breath of fresh air always. •A topic that I would like to see in faith talks is navigating moments of faithlessness.
Battlefield of the mind - by Joyce Myers. Help me so much deal with my thoughts and how I can control them. where I need to place my thoughts. And it actually taught me to truly take captive of my thoughts and put them into the obedience of Christ like God word teaches us to. It taught me the consequences of my thoughts, how to take responsibility for my thoughts, how not to believe everything I think. Besides the Bible, that’s the best book I’ve ever read.
Deborah, it is always a pleasure to be in your presence even if it is by way of RU-vid. Thank you so very much for taking the time to recommend some Christian books to help us along with our journey. You are such an inspiration.Take care, God Bless You and I will see you in the next one.
Deborah, thank you for your book recommendations! This next bit is random. I REALLY like your hair and would love to have mine done like yours. I know you do yours yourself, (very skilled) but do you have any recommendations for someone who can do this? My hair I’ve neglected because I’ve been studying and I’ve neglected everything! I need some self care and want to start with hair. Thank you so much ❤
Hello everyone, Thank you Deborah for another great video! 💕I love reading and I wanted to share I use to read a lot of secular romance novels which wasn’t good for my spirit and God is now allowing me to read clean Christian novels. Here are a few I recommend Lulus Cafe- T. I. Lowe My stubborn Heart- Becky Wade I’m still looking for more if anyone has any more please let me know!
Thank you for your book recommendations. My heart was with you today because it’s Father’s Day and I know your story about your father. Thank you Yahweh for being the ultimate Father we have. No earthly father can love us like He can. I pray God blesses you with a husband who will be awesome father for your future children. Stay blessed.
Amen 🤍 Thank you so much sis that's very kind of you to have me in mind! The Lord truly is the best dad, and he's the God who restores. He has all of us in the palm of his hand so I know we're taken care of as his daughters 🥰
I am currently reading a book called “an unseen warfare” the edited text by st. Nicodemus and st. Teophan the Reclus, highly recommended it will help u understand how spiritual warfare works and what can u do about it
This is so helpful, thank you. It'll be great to start zoom bible learning, to have an opportunity to share ideas, thoughts with each other. Wonderful idea! I also hope to meet you or talk to you one day) You are so sincere person
Hey Deborah thank you so much♥♥ one of the topics I'd love to hear you speak about are on family an how God has been leading you through navigating those relationships
thank you for sharing your recs!!!! i'm super looking forward to reading C.S. Lewis!!! i think a faith talk vid on Christian friendships would be interesting!!!
I think I’m gonna have to add Mere Christianity to my line up! I’m still working through some that I have here but I’d also like to recommend one to you. It’s “The Awe of God” by John Bevere. I think for any believer struggling with sin or living a lukewarm life, for me this is the book that’ll help you go all in with your relationship with Jesus. 🔥
Bless God for you Deborah. I just recently found your channel and have been so inspired by you. The Lord is using you mightily. I love to read, but I normally read fiction. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Francine Rivers, she’s a Christian fiction author. Her book Redeeming Love is soooo good. It’s based off the book of Hosea. I was bawling at the end. Thanks for the recommendations. I especially want to check out Mere Christianity.
I have almost finished reading ‘God has a name’ book and i really really recommend to read it. It is such an eyeopening book and it helps me connect with YAHWEH, our GOD in heaven in much much deeper level!!!
I love Christian books it definitely helps to learn about God, but the Bible is definitely in the top! Thank you for the recommendations! I recommend Jerry Bridges books such as The Pursuit of Holiness and The Practice of Godliness.
Oh hey sis .. looks like I gat some books to read here. I think 'Mere Christianity' is about the only book I've read there.. and kind of summary of the scew tape letter. C. S Luis is one of my favorite authors. Anyway awesome recommendations and blessings to you.
I've only read The Purpose Driven Life and it's amazing!! So simple and easy to read and get into the bible with. But with the other ones, you did a great job at analyzing and describing them because I am definitely intrigued now lol
Suggestions: 1. Navigating the wilderness and isolation season. And really how to come out of it or when to know if God has freed you to come out of it🤔 (I say that because I have been in isolation for quite some time, had to let go of bad friends and now find it difficult to let anyone into my space or to trust anyone for that manner - although I don’t see it as a problem (I think it links up with your previous video. 2. Stepping out in faith. 3. Understanding your personality through God’s lenses and acceptance? 4. In general I would also like to hear more of your story and how you really transformed into who you are now in detail (letting go of friendships, backlash, temptations, breakups and learnings).
The zoom Bible study would be amazing!Im young in my walk with god and I learn so much and with adhd it’s hard to stay focused on the word!Thank you! Btw your voice is beautiful I love the song?
Hi Deborah!! First I just want to say you are such an inspiration and I love your content so much. I’m so happy that you decided to trust God with his plans for your life bc it has truly inspired me to do the same. As an aspiring content creator I wanted to ask what brand is your podcast microphone? I listen to your podcast as well and it sounds so clear, so I thought I’d ask. Thank you again and I’m praying that God continues to bless you and others through you!
I appreiate your obedience to the Lord and the way He has used it for His glory and the good of His children in their walk of faith. I would be intrested in a faith talks with a topic on making friends/building relationships with other sisters in Christ. If I'm being honest I find it hard to socialize with new ppl, so its been something I'd pray about. If you have any wisdom the Lord has given you or is currently showing you around building the character of being a good friend or how to maintain friendships I would love to hear about it.
I love this, I've been wanting to see this kind of video and here I am, I really wanna read books but for the past few years most of my books are secular books. This really helps me and I'm pretty sure for teenagers like me who are out there, please continue to do this on upcoming days...
Happy Sunday and thank you for this !! Currently about to finish captivating and I’ve enjoyed it so much ! Cried a lot as I was reading it but was very healing !! Thanks for the other recommendations going to check out Mere Christianity and already have Wild at Heart in my amazon basket haha ! X
ohh same here! Such an emotional journey reading through that book, but like said: extremely healing. I pray more revelations out over you in Jesus mighty name 🥰 Books truly are a great way to help us open our eyes to the truth
@11:10 I definitely know what you mean! We have these book boxes In our neighborhood where it's like take a penny leave a penny but for books! And whenever I find christian books especially with writing in them, I get so excited. It's like connecting with another christian ❤
I read the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and John Townsend. I read it and resonated with it so much due to its many biblical references. After that I went right to the source and started reading the Bible. A lot of things brought me closer to Christ. This book is one of them. ❤
Hi Deborah , firstly thank you for the recommendations . Truly appreciate it .🤍✨ I wanted to add another book reco by Joyce Meyer called Habits of a godly woman.
Love your content Deborah especially your vlogs, it has helped me so much in my walk with Christ just by watching a fellow sister in Christ living out her faith.🩷Also I have a few book recs! “John 3:16 the numbers of hope” by Max Lucado I loved it really dove deep into each word in that verse and explained it very well. I also read “searching for Christmas” by J D Greear which is a very short but dives deep into the names of God in Isaiah 9:6 and honestly would be a great read even if it’s not Christmas time.
