The following is a list of books and resources that we have personally read and have found helpful and encouraging in the maturation of our spirit and intellect. Though all may not come from a Christian perspective, and although we certainly do not agree with every aspect of every book or website listed, we only mention resources that we think would be uplifting and thought-provoking. Please use your discretion as not all books are recommended for all ages. And if you have any questions about a specific book or website, or have a suggestion to add to the list, please feel free to comment or e-mail us.

Please also note that there is an innumerable amount of fiction books that we could recommend. As it is impossible to list them all, we have chosen to simply list our favorites.
