I recently finished reading Jerry Bridges' excellent book, Trusting God. As I mentioned in a couple of earlier posts, this book spoke volumes (no pun intended) to me about the sovereignty of God. I was particularly struck by the description of how everything that happens is for our own good and for God's glory, and that they are not mutually exclusive--in fact, you can't have one without the other.
This book has really changed my perspective on some things and brought me to a new awareness of how God is working in my life. I can tell that it's definitely going to be one of my "repeat reads", books that I keep coming back to over and over again throughout my life.
So, let's hear from you now...other than the Bible, what book or books have you read that greatly challenged you, encouraged you, changed you--or all of the above? In what ways did those books speak so clearly to you?

Dallas Willard's "The Divine Conspiracy" athough it took me FOREVER to read it was worth it!
The whole New Kind of Christian series by McLaren was truly eye opening to me.
