If you are searching in the self-help section of your local bookstore for books on spiritual growth, you may be looking in the wrong place.  Many women are finding that the average self-help book has an impact on their lives for a month or two, but then they gradually go back to their old ways.  The only lasting method of self improvement comes from within, and through relationship with Jesus Christ.  Many of the bestselling books at NavPress.com fall into the category of Bible study books for women.

When women think of a Bible study book, they often confuse it with a devotional book, but these topical Bible study books are more aligned with personal spiritual growth.  Books like Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow, or Becoming a Woman of Influence by Cynthia Heald are designed to mirror many of the popular self-help topics of this generation – anxiety and self-actualization.  However, they address these issues through the lens of scripture.

Ideal for personal devotions or a women’s group Bible study, these books promote spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God.  Here are a few of the latest selections from NavPress:

Choosing Rest: Cultivating a Sunday Heart in a Monday World - This book has a title that really gets attention, particularly with busy working women.  Instead of moving faster and faster, Sally Breedlove encourages women to appreciate God’s nurturing gift of rest, even in the midst of their chaotic lives.  Her prescription is “attitude of rest” that is God’s gift to those who truly trust Him.

Crossroads on the Journey: Pursuing a Lifetime Commitment and Transformation – Written by several well-known Christian authors, this exceptional book helps women experience the greatest journey they will ever take.  By deepening your walk with Jesus Christ and staying in the Word daily, women are equipped to take new steps of faith in their everyday decisions.

Every Thought Captive: Battling the Toxic Beliefs That Separate Us from the Life We Crave – this bestselling author helps readers find the freedom that comes from switching our thinking from “everyday” to “eternal.”  The enemy has a way of tormenting women’s thoughts with guilt, shame and questions about their identity, which ultimately become a major source of fear and stress.  By shifting your thinking from the world’s way to the Lord’s way, it is possible to find the rest and forgiveness you crave.

Among the bestsellers at NavPress.com, these books offer the kind of spiritual growth that is meaningful and eternal.
