In today's video, I'm sharing the fiction books that have encouraged my faith and reminded me of God's character during a season of waiting. While no book can ever replace Scripture, I truly believe God can use stories to point us back to His truth, His hope, and His love. I also share about my current Bible reading and verses that have spoken God's truth to me.
In this video we'll chat about:
✝️ Christian fiction that strengthened my faith
📖 A Bible verse that has been speaking deeply to me
🤍 What God has been teaching me in this season
📚 Stories that reminded me to trust Him even while I wait
Whether you're in a waiting season, looking for encouraging Christian fiction, or simply searching for your next meaningful read, I hope this video blesses you.
💬 I'd love to hear from you:
is there a Bible verse that's been especially meaningful to you lately?
