the first book i loved
by Kimberley Woodhouse, author of Ever Constant
I grew up devouring books. There weren’t enough books in the house or even in the library for that matter. And if I would have been able to comprehend it all at a young age, I would have read every theological tome in my pastor-dad’s office.
To say that I loved reading is an understatement. In fact, I was also that kid who couldn’t wait for the teacher to call on us to read out loud. Didn’t matter what subject, I loved it, because I loved words. Loved how sentences flowed together.
Fiction soon became my favorite. Stories came alive for me. Diving into a book meant diving into an amazing adventure and/or learning about something incredible.
At the age of eleven, I read a book that changed my life. My older sister had read it and I’d listened as she discussed it with our mom. When I asked to read it, one handed me the book, the other handed me tissues.
To this day, it is one of the most powerful books I’ve ever read.
Not My Will, by Francena H. Arnold.
My original copy had a much different cover. But you can still buy this book today. Originally published in 1946, it continues to resonate with readers.
Over the years, I’ve given this book to many and recommended it to even more. Why? Because it was a book that made me think.
Think about choosing God’s will over my own.
It made me cry. And then it made me rejoice with the beauty from ashes story.
I’ve read it several times over the years. Each time coming away with a fresh new look.
Since it was written in 1946, the writing is much different than today, but give yourself time to get used to the older syntax and flow if you choose to read it. You won’t regret it.
Over the years, my list of books I’ve loved has grown so much it would fill pages and pages. But Not My Will has stuck with me for almost forty years. And I think it always will.
Do you have some favorites that are like that?
There are three others that are on my top list:
My Hands Came Away Red by Lisa McKay
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
And the book that I recommend the most and is my top fav? Randy Alcorn’s Safely Home.
Story has the capability to touch and change lives. Every time I receive a message, text, email, or letter from a reader, I’m amazed at how story has impacted them. It’s humbling and makes me so grateful to get the opportunity to share story with others.
If you haven’t read any of the titles I’ve mentioned here, I hope you take this opportunity to pick up one of these life-changing reads.
Until next time, grab onto the JOY of story!
