List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

Books have always held a special place in my heart. I often find myself immersed in their pages, discovering new worlds, ideas, and perspectives that have profoundly impacted my life. While there are countless titles that have influenced me, today, I want to share three books that stand out, along with my all-time favorite.

1. Administrations of Lunacy by Mab Segrest

This book opened my eyes to the intriguing intersections of history and human experience. Mab Segrest’s meticulous research and compelling narrative sparked my curiosity, prompting me to delve deeper into historical events and their implications. It truly transformed my understanding of how history is woven into the fabric of society. I often find myself reflecting on its insights, shaking my head in disbelief at the complexities of our past.

2. The Deborah Anointing by Michelle McClain-Walters

As a woman in ministry, “The Deborah Anointing” has been a profound source of inspiration for me. Michelle McClain-Walters not only encourages women to embrace their calling but also provides invaluable insights into stepping boldly into leadership roles. Her words resonate deep within me, empowering me to pursue the path that God has laid out for me. It’s a reminder that our unique voices and contributions are essential to the ministry.

3. The Princess Within by Serta Jakes

This book came into my life during a particularly dark period, serving as a beacon of hope and encouragement. Serta Jakes gently guides readers to embrace their journey, reminding us that even in moments of defeat, we are merely at the beginning of a transformative process. “The Princess Within” helped me shift my mindset and see challenges as opportunities for growth. It reminded me that my story is just unfolding.

Favorite of All Time: The Bible

No list of impactful books would be complete without mentioning the Bible. This sacred text has been my constant companion, shaping my beliefs and values since childhood. Thanks to my dad, who instilled in me an appreciation for its powerful messages, the Bible has chased me down and changed my life in ways I can hardly articulate. Its lessons guide me daily, offering wisdom and comfort no matter the circumstances I face.

In conclusion, these books have not just entertained me; they’ve educated, inspired, and encouraged me to grow. They remind me of the power of words and the impact that stories can have on our lives. If you haven’t yet explored these titles, I highly encourage you to give them a read. You might just find that they change your life too.
