Discover Trusted Resources to Help You Grow in Faith and Be Empowered by God's Word.

Welcome to the Recommended Reading and More page of Empowered by God's Word.

Growing in your relationship with God is a lifelong journey. While reading the Bible is the foundation of our faith, God also uses trustworthy Christian books, Bible studies, podcasts, online courses, and faithful ministries to help us understand His Word more deeply and apply it to our daily lives.

Whether you are a new believer taking your first steps of faith or a mature Christian seeking to deepen your spiritual walk, the right resources can encourage, educate, and strengthen you through every season of life.

That is why we have carefully gathered resources that support our mission of helping Christians overcome life's challenges through the truth and power of God's Word.

We pray these recommendations will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and help you grow closer to Jesus Christ.

Why Christian Resources Matter

The Christian life is one of continual learning and growth.

As we spend time in God's Word and learn from trusted Bible teachers and Christian authors, our understanding of Scripture becomes stronger. We gain wisdom for everyday decisions, encouragement during difficult seasons, and practical guidance for living a Christ-centered life.

Good Christian resources never replace the Bible. Instead, they help us understand God's Word more clearly and encourage us to live according to its truth.

Our desire is to recommend resources that point you back to Scripture and help you build a stronger relationship with God.

How to Choose Resources Wisely

Not every Christian resource teaches biblical truth accurately.

As you read books, listen to podcasts, or follow online ministries, ask yourself:

• Does this resource agree with Scripture?
• Does it point me toward Jesus Christ?
• Does it encourage spiritual growth?
• Does it help me understand the Bible better?
• Does it promote love, humility, truth, and obedience?

Developing discernment is an important part of spiritual maturity.

Make Learning a Daily Habit

Growing in faith happens one day at a time.

Consider building a simple weekly routine that includes:

• Reading your Bible every day.
• Praying consistently.
• Reading a chapter from a trusted Christian book.
• Listening to a biblical podcast.
• Watching a Bible teaching session.
• Taking notes during your study.
• Memorizing one Bible verse each week.
• Participating in church and Bible study.
• Applying one biblical lesson every day.

Small daily habits lead to lasting spiritual growth.

Helpful Study Tools

Along with the resources above, these tools can help you stay consistent:

• A Bible in a translation you understand.
• A study Bible.
• A prayer journal.
• A notebook for Bible study.
• Scripture memory cards.
• A Bible reading plan.
• Bible highlighters or colored pens.
• A trusted Bible study app.
• A local church community.
• A Christian accountability partner.

These simple tools can help you stay focused as you continue growing in God's Word.

Our Prayer for You

Our prayer is that every resource you use will draw you closer to Jesus Christ and deepen your understanding of God's Word.

We pray that you will grow in wisdom, strengthen your faith, overcome life's challenges with confidence, and become a source of encouragement to others.
