I want to buy a copy so that I can actually *gasp* write in it. So much to learn from that book.

For conferences I love Beth Moore. I'm DYING to attend the She Speaks conference by P31 Ministries.

If you were to come here, I'd tell you that my books are doubled up in one bookcase and you'd have to look behind a row to get a more complete idea of me! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-30020192819337199042010-11-03T14:25:22.901-07:002010-11-03T14:25:22.901-07:00I like DeMoss' Lies Women Believe.

I haven't been able to get into any of her others.<br /><br />The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment sounds really good.<br /><br />Similar reaction here to Sally Clarkson!<br /><br />I would put Lewis on my list too. <br /><br />LM Montgomery is probably more of an influence than I think -- "kindred spirits" and all that.<br /><br />My daughter is now getting into Nancy Drew, and it's so fun! I remember my down-the-street neighbor introduced me to her when I was in 5th grade, and she had an entire yellow-spined shelf-full. I was in awe!<br /><br />Never read Prentiss, Young, George, Pink, Wilson, North or Deere. <br /><br />I guess a more coherent response would have been, "Oh wow, your list brings back memories and inspires me to read some folks I haven't read." But instead I offer this disjointed string of blurbs. Thanks for sharing your list -- obviously I enjoyed it!Janethttp://acrossthepage.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-52865693865104662612010-11-03T12:55:40.039-07:002010-11-03T12:55:40.039-07:00That does it...adding Challies to my ever growing ...That does it...adding Challies to my ever growing Amazon wish list!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488537925889589851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-5298766952503333962010-11-03T11:24:41.907-07:002010-11-03T11:24:41.907-07:00I love this post, too.

It's very interesting to see the authors who influenced you.I may think about making a list like this one--although I did something similar a few years ago: http://www.semicolonblog.com/?p=914Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-64468135010263355582010-11-03T08:13:17.085-07:002010-11-03T08:13:17.085-07:00Love this post, Carrie!

I've read something by most of the authors, but there are a few here who are new.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612716398097555419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-21032107887150492732010-11-03T07:28:19.195-07:002010-11-03T07:28:19.195-07:00The only problem with looking at my bookshelves is...The only problem with looking at my bookshelves is that only maybe -- I don't know, a fourth or fifth or some fraction of the books I have read are there. But since these are the ones I chose to keep, especially after thinning them out after we moved, I guess that would say something after all. <br /><br />I've not heard of Keene, North, or Deere: I've never read Sproul, Pink, Wilson, Young, Clarkson, or Stewart. I didn't read C. S. Lewis until an adult, either.<br /><br />I loved <i>Stepping Heavenward</i>. I've only read a couple of George's. I haven't read a whole book by DeMoss but did enjoy her chapters In Becoming God's True Woman (the chapters of which were made up of sessions from a True Woman's Conference).<br /><br />I had to look of Doug Wilson -- I always get him mixed up with Doug Phillips of Vision Forum (the latter of which I do have problems with though I do like some of what he stands for). I don't know much about Wilson -- I have seen his blog a time or two but don't read it. I do read his wife's blog, Femina, and mostly enjoy it though I don't agree with every little thing.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-29566783795757705222010-11-03T06:36:06.291-07:002010-11-03T06:36:06.291-07:00Very cool list...even if I don't know many of ...Very cool list...even if I don't know many of the authors. <br /><br />So if you were to visit me you would have to go to the spare bedroom and our bedroom to see our bookshelves, since downstairs we keep the kids' books out (and in their rooms, too)...or if you were unexpected company you could look on the kitchen island, end table, and coffee table for my books.<br /><br />Yeah, I think after Women of Faith I am a bit anti-conference, too, though I think small ones are still fabulous!Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-41877350510069494852010-11-03T06:07:43.750-07:002010-11-03T06:07:43.750-07:00Oh please, please, please... the next time they of...Oh please, please, please... the next time they offer a True Woman Conference do whatever you can to get yourself there. It is unlike any other conference you could attend. It is full and meaty and doctrinal, and everything that ministry does is bathed in prayer. They are serious about helping women live godly lives.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179941618101336000noreply@blogger.com
