"Shaped by the Word"

Reading scripture has to be more than gaining information. Mullholland teaches his readers ways to read and engage with scripture that brings about a formational approach.

This book is a great example of how psychology and spirituality go together. Through the process of understanding ourselves better we are able to see and know God deeper. A small but powerful book.

This book highlights the movements in prayer from our minds and in our hearts. I appreciate the reflection questions and exercises.

"To Bless the Space
Between Us"

To borrow someone else's prayers allows us to speak and connect in ways that we sometimes struggle with in our own words. O'Donohue brings his Celtic traditions into his beautiful book of blessings that journey through many of life's transitions and emotions.

We all journey through seasons of darkness. This book explores the jewels as well as the struggles as one walks through the dark. A helpful read for those challenging seasons.

"Discovering Your Personality Type"
Don Richard Riso &
Russ Hudson
Enneagram work has helped me better understand myself and those around me. This is a comprehensive book that gives the reader an understanding of how and why the enneagram is so helpful. There is a quiz to help the reader self-identify, but the rest of the book helps to confirm that. Highly recommend for those exploring this great tool.
These are just a few to give you a taste for what I have found helpful. There are times when one resource might be a better fit then others and I am happy to direct you to something more tailored and helpful for the greatest benefit.
