Have you already accomplished reading your winter book list or looking to add to it? Here’s four books you cannot skim over.

1. Before Amen: The Power of a Simple Prayer by Max Lucado

It is a fast read, but you will undoubtedly take your time soaking in the fresh take on prayer. This is not a lecture on how you don’t pray enough, but instead, a perfect piece to realize why God gives us prayer and why He listens to us, as well as a pocket prayer to reignite the fire for “prayer wimps.”

2. Sensible Shoes: A Story about the Spiritual Journey by Sharon Garlough Brown

A fresh face to fiction, the profiles of four women and their walk with God inspires the reader. Although the lengthy book is fiction, it is also a book of great teachings in faith. Dig deeper in your spiritual journey with Brown’s brilliant work.

3. How I Changed My Mind about Women in Leadership: Compelling Stories from Prominent Evangelicals by Alan F. Johnson

Prepare yourself for a piece that will challenge your belief on the controversial topic of women in leadership. This is a piece that gives off a personal vibe, removing the common opinion of readings on this topic being intrusive and commanding.

4. Without Rival: Embrace Your Identity and Purpose in an Age of Confusion and Comparison Paperback by Lisa Bevere

Recently released, Without Rival is an incredibly uplifting piece sharing the Truth of God. The world says to conform to its social standard; God says to surrender to him, giving up worldly ways. Learn or refresh your unique identity in Christ.

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” -Ephesians 1:15-17

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
