In my own faith journey, I have found so many wonderful tools to help grow my faith.

I have personally used all of the tools below and I would highly recommend you give them a look.

Women of the Word

Why I recommend it: Following the tips in this book completely changed how I study scripture. I was so inspired by it’s practices, that I created my etsy store Petal & Pew

Book cover titled 'Parenting with Scripture' by Kara Durbin, featuring a group of children holding balloons and walking on grass under a blue sky with clouds.

Why I recommend it: It is great for all the different parenting “struggles” that you deal with your kids. If you need a scripture to recite for yourself or your kids, this book has it.

Deepening Your Faith:

Book cover titled 'Where Prayer Becomes Real' by Kyle Strobel and John Coe, featuring aerial view of winding river through green forest with a brown circle containing the subtitle about honesty and God.

Where Prayer Becomes Real

Why I recommend it: This book is to prayer as Women of the Word is to studying scripture. It takes away the guilt of a scattered mind, and gives wonderful practical tips for growth.

Parenting/Family:

Book cover titled 'Stop-and-Go Devotional: 52 Devotions for Busy Families' by Diane Stortz, illustrated by Hannah Marks. The cover features a traffic light with red, yellow, and green lights and cartoon illustrations of a cat and a rabbit.

Why I recommend it: My family doesn’t always get a chance to sit and eat together as a family (especially during sports season), but when we do…this is a great way to have a devotional together. Great for littles and bigs!

Cover of a Bible study workbook titled 'The Armor of God' by Priscilla Shirer, featuring a wooden shield illustration at the center.

The Armor of God

Why I recommend it: Ephesians solidified as my favorite book of the Bible after completing this study with some friends. It talks about all the different tools that God gives you to fight the battles you face as a follower of Jesus.

Cover of The Action Bible featuring various illustrated biblical characters including a woman, a man with a staff, Jesus, a shepherd, and a woman in green, with the title in bold white letters and a subtitle 'God's Redemptive Story.'
