I’ve compiled a reading list for the Christian woman based on my favorite authors. Whether you are single, a wife, or a mother, there is something for every woman.

These books are not specific to any single role a woman may have. They are to encourage all women to become closer to the Lord above all else through reading from authors who love the Lord.

I hope you find something just for you! If you enjoy this article, please share it on social media so other women may be blessed by it.

Reading List For The Christian Woman

Elisabeth Elliot – for encouragement, practical tips, and more!

Pearl & Serene – for Christian-based health, backed by science.

Laura Ingalls Wilder – for bits of simple wisdom and pure enjoyment (she has more than just children’s books, like her autobiography, etc.)

Sally Clarkson – for live-giving truths in marriage, motherhood, and home.

Gladys M. Hunt – for strengthening the hearts & souls & minds of women & their families.

Heidi St. John – for strengthening moms, wives, and families.

R.C. Sproul – for Reformed Christian Studies.

Ken Ham – for Creation-based science and history.

C.S. Lewis – for thought-provoking commentary.

Charles Spurgeon – for faith-building encouragement.

The Holy Bible is the number one book I recommend every woman reads – every day. Always weigh everything you read in other books by comparing them to the Scriptures!

It is often easier to sit down with a book other than the Bible, so we tend to spend more time reading the words of other various people and less time reading the Word of God. Let’s be intentional with our reading time and open God’s Word more often!
