Summer is for Reading

By -
In honor of the long, sunny days and your requests for more book recommendations, we thought that today instead of conversations we'd suggest a few to add to your list!

1. Craving Grace, by Lisa Velthouse

A memoir of one girl's search to find God and love Him more deeply - and find her delight and life's sweetness in him.

2. One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp

Can giving thanks for little things really change our lives? Our faith? Yes. It can. This is a beautiful little book. The writing is a bit cluttered sometimes, but it's a very readable and enjoyable book.

3. A Gospel Primer for Christians, by Milton Vincent

This Gospel primer is exactly what the title says - a little book overflowing with Scriptural gems on how to live the Gospel each day.  A definite must-read!

4. Hearts of Fire, by Voice of the Martyrs

Travel along with eight women as they risk their lives for Jesus.  Filled to the brim with passion and authenticity, this book will inspire you to also live with a heart of fire for your Savior!

Happy reading!

    Cool book suggestions! I'm hoping to find time to read The Cross and The Switchblade, and Ben Hur this summer.

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No
