My two favorite Christian non-fiction authors are

Stormie Omartian who has books such as
The Power of a Praying Wife
The Power of a Praying Husband
The Power of a Praying Woman
The Power of a Praying Parent
Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On
That's What Love is For

and

Elizabeth George who has books such as
The Remarkable Women of the Bible
A Woman's High Calling
A Young Woman After God's Own Heart
Powerful Promises for Every Woman
God's Wisdom for a Woman's Life
Loving God with All Your Mind

many of these come with study guides as well; many more books are available, just giving some examples

whoops; I did not notice that you were a male and these are more for women; sorry about that. I don't follow the male Christian authors as much, but I like to listen to John Hagee and he has some books out, too.

You could probably try buying a copy of Everyday With Jesus by Selwyn Hughes, its available in most Christian Bookshops, it gives you a passage to read everyday and then has a wee discussion about what you have read...it also has a prayer at the bottom of the page everyday.

It has helped me start to work my way through the Bible.

The Message by Eugene H. Peterson. Start with Matthew and read the whole new testament first. This is a very modern translation of the Bible and it reads like a novel. I read the whole new testament in a week when it first came out.

I just want you to know... :hug: it is God's promise to direct your foot steps. so where ever you go to seek, you will find. :clap:

a book that makes it all simple. and is a 2 to 3 page book a day, for 40 days, would be an awesome start. Rick Warren's 40 DAY PURPOSE. :groupray:
