Verses of Virtue - Elizabeth Beall Phillips

Wild at Heart - Discovering the secret of a man's soul 
John Eldredge

The Wild At Heart Field Manual
---John Eldredge
Only for men
; Only for absolutely, perhaps painfully, candid personal study.

All of the John Eldredge books are recommended for -grounded- Christian men.  They contain a bit of pop psych that may offend purists.

These few are specifically helpful for sexual intimacy Issues and Past Sexual Abuse:

  • Intimate Issues
    ---
    by Linda Dillow and Lorraine Pintus

    (for wives & husband's-read together)
  • Also, Intimacy Ignited - Dillow & Pintus
     
  • Door Of Hope  ---by Jan Frank
    (for help/hope in dealing with past sexual abuse)
  • The Wounded Heart Dan Allender

 

    Women's Books & Bible Studies   

Cynthia Heald's Bible Study books have been very helpful to me in the past...   (Becoming a Woman of Excellence, Becoming a Woman of Freedom, Becoming a Woman of Prayer,  and more...)

You might also look into The Precepts Bible studies ---by Kay Arthur---one disagreeable part is that men are sometimes in her audience and certainly in her reading audience.  This is objectionable to many men and women who understand form the Word that women are not to be in authority over a man.

God's Priceless Woman
--by Wanda Kennedy-Sansari
---a Proverbs 31 study

...and, of course, there are surely many many more to choose from!!!

Some folks you may want to read up on
before
 you invest in purchasing and/or reading their materials:

Rick Warren and the Purpose Driven______
and the world peace, world hunger and whatever else purpose.

  * Please be informed about the different authors you may read.  It is so imperative that you know the spiritual/Biblical position of an author when reading books and materials... some things read so well, sound so good and yet are flawed in that they contain untruths or partial untruths.   In the last days there will be many
who will be deceived.
