Good books By Apostolic Lady Authors

[ddc101]

I love to read.One of my favorite apostolic lady authors is Sis.Nona Freeman.Her easy to read material full of soulwinning just spurs me on to deeper deepths and greater heights in God.
Who is your favorite lady author and which book do you like the best?

[foreverblessed]

I really don't have a favorite Apostolic Author, but I did love the third book by Ruth Rieder which is called "Covenant by Sacrifice"
I have read all of her books, and while I don't agree with everything to the extent she believes, I really enjoyed her last book.

My all time favorite book for women isn't by an Apostolic writer, it is Power of a Praying Wife, by Stormie Omartian. My copy is worn, torn and battered from much reading. It really has wonderful things for every married woman to read.

Through this book I was able to make great changes in my life. I recommend it to everyone. :angel:

[ddc101]

Sister I have heard more than one woman say that book by Stormie O'Martin is good.I think its even available at walmart stores.lv sis.c

[committed]

Hi Ladies........I like LaJoyce Martin.....she writes alot like Janette Oke, yet has the truth. Her first pioneer series was really a good witnessing tool, because she doesn't bring in the true plan of salvation until the 3rd book and she already has the interest of the reader. Also Sis. Joy Haney has some real faith building books..... :angel:

[committed]

Also, If you have never read the Bodie Thoene books, you are missing out...esp. if you are a history buff, like me. Her first series called the Zion Chronicles are set in around 1947, in Isreal, when it was going to become a nation. The characters are not real, but all the history is, even to the finding of the dead sea scrolls. You won't be able to put it down! :spin:

[ddc101]

Committed I got to meet Sis.Lajoyce Martin at a ladies meeting in Florida.I never knew she was so tall and so elegant.She is one of the most interesting speakers I have ever heard.She may not remember me but I will never forget her.

Where did you get the books by Bodie Thoene? I am interested in them.sis.c

[committed]

Hi Sis. DDC,
You can get the Bodie Thoene books from most christian bookstores, the ones I told you about, probably would be easier to find in the CBD catalog. Their real name is Christian Book Distributors. Their webpage is: http://www.christianbook.com/
She and her husband (Brock) have written alot of books. They really do a good, and readable job...not something you have to be a rocket scientist to understand......:p

[ddc101]

Thank you sister.Its a good thing because I am no rocket scientist.Do you read alot? sis.c

[committed]

Oh, yes I love to read.......christian love stories, history, mysteries, non-fiction.....and I love studying the best book of all.......

:)

[ddc101]

Believe it or not my husband is the first one to check out the christian novels.In fact we together have read most of Janet Oke,
Lajoyce Martin,Gilbert Morris...especially because of all the colonial history.I have not read many of this kind of material lately because its what I call leisure books and lately I have been researching so much.But I snicker when I see Bro.Cooper crying about a book....but then he is a romantic type...sis.c

[ddc101]

There is a good book by Sis.Linda Doty titled,"Lord, Why am I Crying?" Has anyone read it?

[witness4jesus]

I also met LaJoyce Martin. She told a parable on Sleeping Beauty I will never forget. I was really touched by her ministering.

I would like to recommend, "Behold the Nazarite Woman" by Joy Haney. I read that book several years ago and was challenged by it.

sis pam

[ddc101]

Sis.Pam
I just recommended that book this week to a sister struggling with consecration issues.Boy that is one book I will never forget.
Anything by Sister Haney is really good.I got to hear her preach at a ladies conference a few years ago.She is very down to earth and her greatest burden is souls.She is as far from a city lady as I ever imagined.She was just a country girl at heard.So refreshing.
I don't know what I was expecting but she sure was a surprise.
lv sis.c

[survivor4christ]

I have not read anything by apostolic ladies, but I am now building my list....

Thanks, girls!
Sis. Wenona

[ddc101]

You need to get the book "Oma" sister survivor.She really went through it with her husband when God called her to work for him.Also Sis.Pam this would be excellant for you to read.This ladys husband tried to kill her several times.lv sis.c

[committed]

Sis. DDC,
Did you go to the link I gave you for the CBD? You have to kind of search through it, but you will find it, with determination.

Enjoy!

[ddc101]

Yes Sister Committed I did.Thank you so much.I saw they have a lot of good material.I just have been almost too busy to reply.
lv sis.c

[survivor4christ]

Do I get this book from PPH?

Sis. Wenona

[ddc101]

Yes Sis.Survivor the book Oma is available at PPH.lv sis.c

[ddc101]

Has anyone read the book WHEN YE PRAY by Joy Haney.I am rereading it now.I forgot how good it was.lv sis.c

[survivor4christ]

I do not have credit cards. I went to the PPH website to purchase the book on Oma and realized that they only take credit cards.

I am in the process of looking for a church in the area that sells Pentecostal books. I called the local Christian bookstores, and they said they could not order Oma for me. I was really shocked.

They said that it wasn't in their databases of available books. I also checked out Word Aflame and other apostolic book websites and did not find Oma.

Sis., you really got me curious about this book, Oma.

Sis. Wenona

[ddc101]

Sister Wenona,
go to the PPH site and get the 1-800 number or email them.They will let you write or do a check by phone.They are very easy to deal with.In fact then they will send you a catalog with your order.

Here is another good ladies thread.lv sis.c

[Christian Woman]

I love Joy Haney's books and Sister Nona Freeman's. I've just recently read Shirley Carson's books, thank you sister Cooper for mentioning her. Ruth Reider's books are great also. I love to read Holy Ghost filled books! I've read several of Sister Doty's books also.

[BurningforJesus]

Wow!! What a great thread. For all those who love reading here is a 'book catalogue' just for us that you don't get, just anywhere!! ;)

What do ya know!!! I have read quite a few of those books. Alot of these books help shape you and strengthen your walk with the Lord, with the Lord's help. The Lord has used these authors to help others. Thank the Lord He can do thse things for our benifit!!
Thank you Sisters for contributing here. I can't remember reading this thread all that time ago. :)

[DeeDee]

DDC,

I have read "Lord Why am I Crying?" IT is absolutely phenominal! I have always had a hard time understanding depression. I never have been there and so...I couldn't really deal with them in an understanding way. Until this book. I feel like I have reached into the mind of someone who has been there and done that, and now I am a more fully equipped Christian because of it.

I would recommend as a companion to it the Fiction work..."when Joy Came to Stay" By Karen Kingsbury. This book tells a fictional tale of a woman dealing with depression, eventually sent to a mental hospital. And then.....chase it with Sis Doty's book. You will never be the same again

[ddc101]

Sister Dee,
Did that book by anychance have a story about a Mountain who loved a bird?
I minister using the parable of the sower in a message about breaking up the fallow ground of your heart and the blood of Jesus.In fact one of the brothers wrote a song about this particular message.I always like to tell the story of how faith became planted in the heart of the mountain.It is an awesome epic.lv sis.c

[LadyRev]

All of Sis. Joy Haney's books are excellent must reads. :)

And if you like true life stories, I recommend Angel At My Shoulder - Sis. Agnes Rich Story. Sis. Rich was a pastor in Nebraska and faced much opposition. Shes been deceased for several years now but I believe her book is still available through the PPH. Years ago, Sis. Rich preached a 3 week revival for my church.

Also, Sis. Watkins book, (I think her first name is Penny), That I May Know Him, is an excellent true life story regarding knowing Him through suffering. Sis. Watkins book is also available through the PPH I believe. Sis. Watkins has been to my church several times to speak to the ladies. Her husband pastors somewhere in Texas.

[LadyRev]

OOPS! Meant to mention one more...

San Francisco And The Lady is another excellent true life story by Sis. Marilyn Gazowski. She started and pastored a church in San Franscisco. Her son pastors it now. Shes up in years now but still preaches. Shes preached for us several times in the past. I am not sure if the PPH has her book or not. It might have to be obtained through the church.

[lamama]

Has anyone mentioned, "To Ladies With Love" by Pamela Kern? I thought it was likely out of print, but just found it at PPH. And the cover looks updated and pretty.

http://pentecostalpublishing.com/Books/books_details.asp?product_id=3224&subject=0&author_id=548

It was a blessing to me as a new convert.

Great thread topic ddc. :tup:

[Apostolic Kitty]

They are very easy to deal with.
Wish I could say the same. I've only dealt with PPH a couple of times and found they had terrible customer service.

[ddc101]

Wow sis.Sorry you had trouble.I always have gotten my stuff quickly.But anyway sometimes you can't get certain material anywhere else.Unless of course you email the author which is something I don't mind doing.lv sis.c

[lilbit]

I have read this book and I thought it was a very informative book I will probly read it again. I also like FEAR, Get Out of My Life FOREVER by Sandra Baker you can get it from PPH . It is a very good book.

[lilbit]

Has anyone read the book WHEN YE PRAY by Joy Haney.I am rereading it now.I forgot how good it was.lv sis.c
I have read this book a couple of times and I liked it. I also like reading Miracles Happen When Woman Pray and Pray The Word also by Joy Haney. Have you read these two books?

[NanaRenan]

I'm a long time fan of Sis. Freeman. And Sis. Reider's books freed me from a lifetime of struggling with my hair!

I'd like to recommend some recent reads of mine, altho' some have been around a while...

Modesty, I Will Not Bow and I Live By His Word by Nan Pamer (Great for building up your commitment to standards of holiness.)

A View From My Kitchen Sink by Stephanie Suber (Lots of chuckles and "Boy, have I been there" anecdotes wives and mothers will enjoy.)

These Things We Hold by Staci Wilder (Excellent fiction, but then I may be prejudiced as the author has been a dear friend of mine for over 20 years! She also has another For Such A Time As This that I haven't read yet...it is a sequel, I believe.) She has also launched an online bookstore to spread the Word - www.staciwilder.com (http://www.staciwilder.com)

Also, Nancy Grandquist has a good one -- that touched my heart as a mother of lost/backslidden children -- but I've loaned it out and don't remember the exact title.

May God Bless.

Has anyone read the book WHEN YE PRAY by Joy Haney.I am rereading it now.I forgot how good it was.lv sis.c

Hello every one! Its been a while since I have been in here! Hope all are doing well!

Yes, Sis ddc I have read "when ye pray" by Joy Haney. "When ye pray", When ye fast" and "When ye give" all changed my walk with God when I read them years ago.
Joy Haney is one of my absolute favorite authors! I have a collection of just about all her books! The last one I read was "When God doesnt answer on time" Excellent book! I just recently lent it out.

I can also reccommend "Behold thy handmaid" and Broken vessels" by Chris McQuay available at PPH.

I have many books by Lynda allison Doty. Im reading "Maximum Victory" now. She also has a cool and informative web site: "A womens Place"

www.awpministries.org

Ruth Reiders books are great also!

I am going to check out some of the other ladies suggestions also!
Thanks!
Blessings to all!

[ddc101]

Thank you sister Nettie for that book review.I love sister Haneys books.
I also love to visit sis.Dotys site.
I am currently doing The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.But I am about to again go on a book buying spree.lv sis.c

[BurningforJesus]

Sister Ddc, if you are going on that book buying spree, don't forget to have a look at those Liberty Savard books. 'hattering your Srongholds' is the first one. Anyone else read those books? Not Apostolic but I gleaned and learnt alot from them books:)

Burning

[ddc101]

Sister Ailsa,
Which bookstore offers those? lv sis.c

[BurningforJesus]

Good morning:) Ddc. I have seen them in the General Christian Book shops. I doubt if you would get them from the PPH over there. I didn't look though, but they are NOT Apostolic books, but they are interesting to read and as I said you can glean and learn alot from them. :)

I just read "I've Just Started Living" by Priscilla McGruder, her testimony of her deliverance of cancer. It was great.

Also, "Pray the Word" by Joy Haney, great also.

[splowlady]

Also, If you have never read the Bodie Thoene books, you are missing out...esp. if you are a history buff, like me. Her first series called the Zion Chronicles are set in around 1947, in Isreal, when it was going to become a nation. The characters are not real, but all the history is, even to the finding of the dead sea scrolls. You won't be able to put it down! :spin:
The shiloh legacy series is very good this series was so good they were hard to put down.One of my favorite authors is Karen Kingbury she is not apostolic ,but her books are very good.

[Victoryitsmine1]

For the sis who was trying to order from pph,, maybe by money order? not sure but its a thought.

also the best books i have read are those by Sis Tenney and Sis Vesta Mangun! They are both great!!!!!

I wish Sis Vonnie Marshall would write one then all would be perfect! LOL

Love yalll
SIs T

[Esther]

I have read most of the books listed in the post and they are all good. I have not read the Bodie Thoene books, but will perhaps evently get there. I have a bookshelf full of unread books. "Under the Shadow of the Almighty" by Deborah Randall is good, and she has two other books, "Being Expert in War" and "The Treasures of Darkness". All are very good. Also, Bro. T. W. Barnes books are great. And Bro. Lee Stoneking's books are also very good. I have a library full of books and I am at work so I am going from memory. But I don't have the time to read as I used to. I love to read. But I am trying to limit my reading to research until I finish writing my books. As a side note, Bro. Barnes last book, many have testified to being healed just from reading his book.

I haven't read this thread so someone may have already mentioned this book:

The Role of the Sheperdess
By Roffie Ensey

You can purchase the book at: http://www.advanceministries.org (http://www.advanceministries.org/)

There is a section labeled "Books for Women."

Most books on this web site are written by Apostolic Men and Ladies. Excellent resource for Apostolics!

In His Name!!!

[Esther]

Opps I posted earlier from work and didn't catch the "lady" authors. I highly recommend "Unseen Hands" by Sis. Nona Freeman. All her books are great as well as Sis. Joy Haney's.

[Esther]

Also, Mary Wallace is an excellent writer. "The Unspeakable Gift" by Mary Ellis is a great witnessing tool.

[Grace]

Theres a great book out about the soul of man, and spirits that invade men's spirits, it will explain to the reader when God made men's souls immortal, where Cain got his wife. What was on the tree of knowledge of good, and evil.
He restoreth my soul Psalm 23:3 Find out why the soul needed restoring.
The book is called The Soul And The Mysterious Un...Seen World by Minister Kathleen L. Mayfield it may be ordered online at www.xulonpress.com (http://www.xulonpress.com/), or Amazon.com, or Barnes&Noble.com, online orders only, great book, by a lady apostolic minister shes no novice, check it out you'll be blessed.

My current favorite Christian author is Francine Rivers (not apostolic, though). She writes fiction. You must read Redeeming Love if you haven't yet. It's the retelling of the story of Hosea, set in California in the gold rush. I am starting a book discussion group for the ladies at our church and this is our first selection. It's one of those books you can't put down. You can find her books at LifeWay or any other mainstream Christian bookstore in your town.

[ddc101]

Amen thanks.What a great idea.lv sis.c

[SmilingKathy]

I can tell you my favorite author is Al Lacy. Good Christian writer. Angel of Mercy Series, The Stranger Series, and Hannah of Fort Bridger. Best books i have ever read. You will enjoy them

romance novels even christian ones are a womans pornography

[ddc101]

Sister I think thats painting with a very broad brush.
One of my favorite books is to Love a Bent Winged Angel and its
sure not porn.I know what porn is and it has no sexual connotations whatsoever.There is a great difference in holy God called reading and porn.lv sis.c

I heard Sister Lajoyce Martin speak at a church near where I live. She told the parable of the Seven Dwarf, I will never for get that either. She explained how small things in life can rob of of our Joy in service to the Lord. She has a unique way of speaking and I enjoyed it very much.

I would like to read some of these fine books mentioned, will seek them. :yeah:

When I first changed my reading habits and started reading only Christian Fiction I was surprised at the expense of my reading habit.
When I read books by secular authors you could pick them up for 25 cents and sometimes less at yard sales.
I'm happy to report that my local library carries a large section of Christian Novels, so if you love to read and it's really getting expensive, if you haven't already, check out you local Library.

Hi Sister TufLuv,
Are you a reader too? I found this thread and thought to revive it since I enjoy reading. Sometimes I am unsure about an author, and hearing someone's reviews help in selecting new material. Yes, isn't that a strange remark to make about Christian reading material. I have read all kinds before my conversion, and I can attest that that was a very foolish remark about Ponography in these books.

[angelindesguise]

Who is your favorite lady author and which book do you like the best?

Well, I can't say I have a favorite, Apostolic lady author. But I've been reading Focused Light(volume I) by Thetus Tenney and have REALLY been blessed and encouraged by it. She talks about the Word, prayer, fasting. But what has really helped me is her chapter on praise supported by many scripture references.

My dear husband has for years told me that praise is the missing link in my walk with the Lord. She really elaborates and has a long chapter on praise.

So on that note, The LORD is GREAT and GREATLY to be PRAISED and HIS Greatness is Unsearchable! Let EVERYTHING that hath breath, PRAISE THE LORD!

Teach me to praise you Lord.

In Jesus,
Lori Ann in L.A.

[SisterACTS]

I have really enjoyed reading "Breaking the Yoke of Spiritual Oppression" by Sis. Dale Anderson from Indianapolis.

This book biblically defines depression and has some great insight on the use of psychotropic drugs for bi-polar, etc... Her insight is invaluable to the Body of Christ. She too had to endure a season of deep depression and out that blossomed this must have book. It has helped many people I know and I can't keep a copy in my home because I keep giving them out!

If someone you are ministering to, someone you know or love suffers from any type of depression this book would certainly help you to help them!

I just got delivered some of the books I ordered from sister Doty's website. I have one called 'Walking in Trust', am reading that at the same time as i am reading 'Gay Conversations'. Very good. Good food to chew on. I am sooo looking forward to reading the others. But I have to finish these two first. One for myself and the other to inform me of how to reach out to the Gay community. I am enjoying it immensely!!! We all have these precious souls in our community, feeling like outcasts with no one to give them the glimmer of hope they soo desperately need to hear. The love Jesus gives is the love we need to show them.
This is a very good book. I will be showing my Pastor this and the others.

I also bought: Help Me Heal,Maximum Victory and the 7 Secrets of Mental Health.
