We Recommend 
Our greatest recommendations will always be tied to getting to know Jesus Christ and being a light in this world.  It's no surprise then that our final recommendations are all resources to stay in God's word and grow in your knowledge of Him and yourself! Sabrina kicked things off with Devotional Classics edited by Foster and Smith. This book puts together some of the best thoughts from the family of Christ. Cherika's recommends, 52-weeks In the Word, comes with a book, podcast and workbook as it leads you on a journey to finish the Bible in a year. EB closes us out with two recommends from Jackie Hill Perry, the first being a 60 day devotional entitled, Upon Waking, to help break into the habit of being in the word and the second, Gay Girl, Good God, being a look at Jackie's path to settling in to who Christ called her to be.
