3 Books To Help Christian Moms Get Started With Living The Intentional, Set Apart Life

I love learning about how to live my best life on this earth.

After all, we only get one life and one opportunity to live it well... until we resume it in heaven of course.

Unfortunately, when I first got interested in living intentionally as a wife, mother, homeschooler, homemaker and all the other things that come with choosing the type of lifestyle that I have, I had a hard time figuring out where to start in a way that aligned with my faith.

There's that one famous book by pastor O (the one I shall not name), and countless others who I would refer to as "faith friendly", but I didn't want something that made me focus just on what I desired for myself.

I wanted to learn how to live in a way that helped me to really and truly be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Many of the "faith friendly" resources out there tend to focus on how we can improve ourselves for a life of greater comfort, but I wanted to improve myself so that my service to others would have more impact.

So, if you are trying to learn more about living intentionally set apart like I was, here are the best 3 books to get started with:

• A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George will give you an overall lay of the land in how to pursue the Lord, serve well in your marriage, develop a heart that overflows with affection for your children and how to cultivate a joy filled home.

This book has impacted me so much that I have been known to empty my local Half Priced Books of all it's copies, to be given as gifts to anyone that needs a godly mentor.

• 5 Things Successful People Do Before 8 A.M by Terri Savelle Foy is a must-read beginner resource for anyone interested in creating a morning routine that helps you fill your cup and capture peace before the world or your family begins to need you.

Known as the "cheerleader of dreams", she is a fresh burst of energy for any woman that feels it impossible to rise and be productive before her children wake up.

• The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey literally changed mine and my husbands life. Neither one of us had ever been taught good financial principles, so after hearing Dave give an interview, I was hooked.

I sat in the local Barnes & Nobles and read the first half of the book before I decided that I needed to own it. 12 years later and we still live by the principles taught in that book.

There you have it, 3 of my favorite resources for exponentially accelerating your intentional set apart living learning process.

Have you ready any of them? Let me know down below if you have or if you have a beginner resource that you would add.

For His Glory & In His Name,
