May Recommendations | Books, Music, & More


I often find inspiration and value in drawing from resources that are shaping and influencing the pastors at Open Door, and I thought it would be fun to share with everyone what we are reading, listening to, and reflecting on each month. So, here are our recommendations for May:


Julie Arndt

Books:
Living A Life of Fire by Reinhard Bonnke
Victorious Mindsets by Steve Backlund
What On Earth Is Glory by Paul Manwaring

Other books that have been very influential to me:
The Shack by William Paul Young
Face To Face With God by Bill Johnson

Music:
White Flag by Passion
Where I Find You by Kari Jobe
Furious by Jeremy Riddle
Here On Earth by Bryan & Katie Torwalt


Dennis Chaput

Book:
Money and the Prosperous Soul by Stephen K. De Silva (Chief Financial Officer at Bethel Church in Redding). Picture this: Dave Ramsey meets Bethel Church! It is a great combination (in fact Ramsey wrote an endorsement for the book.) He combines Biblical teaching, practical advice and personal experience to make this a very good read. One quote sticks out: "We were not designed for survival. We were designed for Him. When we have Him, we have everything."


Jillian Melnick

Books:
Spirit Wars by Kris Vallotton

I love this little book: 


Kate Podjan 

Books: 
Culture of Honor by Danny Silk 
Less Clutter, Less Noise by Kem Meyer 

Music: 
Here on Earth by Bryan & Katie Torwalt 
Awakening: Live from Chicago by Jesus Culture 
Jacaranda by Josh Garrels
The Builder & The Architect by Sandra McCracken
