There is something sacred about curling up with a book that nourishes the soul, challenges the mind, and strengthens the spirit. As Christian women, we are called to continually grow in wisdom, faith, and purpose, and one of the most powerful ways to do that is through the written word.
Over the years, I have found that books have the ability to shape our perspectives, deepen our faith, and even guide us through life’s toughest seasons. Whether you’re looking to cultivate discipline, find encouragement, strengthen your prayer life, or build financial wisdom, the right book can be a catalyst for transformation.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share the Empower75 Reading List, a carefully curated collection of books designed to help you flourish in every area of your life…spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and even financially.

Why Reading Matters
The Bible tells us in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” As women of faith, we must be intentional about what we feed our minds and spirits. A well-chosen book can offer clarity in confusion, strength in hardship, and wisdom in decision-making.
Reading is not just an act of learning; it’s an act of empowerment. When we engage with books that align with biblical truths and personal growth, we step into a journey of transformation.
So, whether you’re looking to deepen your faith, build better habits, grow financially, or strengthen your relationships, I encourage you to pick up a book from this list and allow God to speak to you through its pages.
Which book are you excited to read next? Let’s continue this journey of growth together!
With Love and Gratitude,
