Free of Me
Sharon Hodde Miller
Not only is Sharon Hodde Miller a local North Carolinian, she also is taking a stand against being self-centered. Free of Me is a book worth reading whether you are in your early 20's or late 60's. This book is a fantastic reminder that our lives are best lived when it is not about us. A "me-centered" world not only puts God in a box but shrinks our souls in the process. Free of Me allows us to take the pressure's off of ourselves and live joyfully within the body of Christ.

Redeeming Love
Francine Rivers
This fictional love story is like no other. Angel was sold into prostitution at a young age. In order to survive in the 1850's, Angel sold her body to lustful men. Things change when she meets Michael, a man who seeks God's heart in everything. Michael obeys God's call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Will Angel's fears of unworthiness and hatred of men prevail or will love truly cover a multitude of sins?
​
This book, although fictional, does an incredible job of depicting the spiritual warfare of self-worth and our true identity as son's and daughters of Christ.

Levi Lusko
Levi Lusko adapts a modern and understandable tone when discussing the life-and-death powers behind love, sex, and romance. He abandons the "Sex is bad and so are you if you've had sex" mentality, and instead, accurately explains the physical, spiritual, and emotional effects that sex has on us.
"There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. It changes who you are and you can't unscramble those eggs."
