A patient today looked at me and asked: “What book would you have me read to change my life?”

Wow! I wasn’t expecting that one!

She is a Jesus follower, she believes in the power of the Spirit but is facing some dramatic life situations that are getting the best of her. She knows I read and have recommended books for her to read in the past, the last one being Batterson’s In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day (which she said rocked her world).

Funny thing is, I knew exactly what to recommend for her.

What would you have suggested? (and don’t answer, “the Bible”)
