Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
named Jason, whom I lovingly call hubby when I’m writing. The only way I could ever explain our relationship is to use words like: crazy, silly, funny… well you get the point. He’s perfect for me! 
Your blog is always so refreshing, Kendra. The books that you shared are excellent reading for marriage. I have read a bunch of them, not all, but they really are an encouragement. Thanks for hosting too!!
Thanks Judith, have a wonderful week!
Thanks for hosting, Kendra!
I’ve read a number of those books…The Excellent Wife has been, besides the Word, the book I go back to every year and reread regarding my role as a godly wife. It is such a blessing!
I hope you have a lovely week!
Now I really need to get mine off of the shelf again! I read half way through it (I think) when I first got it, and then life really got in the way, and it got lost for awhile… and long story short, 5 years later, I still haven’t read through it all :/ oops!
I have read a couple of these and some I’ve never heard of. I do love Elizabeth George and have some of her books! However, I have read some very bad reviews about the Debbie Pearl book, although I haven’t read it myself so I have no opinion. What was YOUR take on it? Anyway, thanks for hosting!
My take on it? The Pearls are radical Christians, not a bad thing. But anytime a person takes a strong, radical stand, especially on the Bible, there will be haters.
Like any other book, read with discernment. If you feel something may not be right, study it out with the Bible. I love the Pearls writings and do support them, but there are 1 or 2 areas that even I disagree with.
This book is written with a rather anti-feminist view and that’s where many woman hate the book. I would encourage you to read it, if for no other reason than to possibly understand why many of the reviews are so bad, and why today’s woman becomes so angry when presented with those principles.
Wonderful list!!! Pinning this for sure. Thanks so much for taking the time to put them all in one place.
Maybe something, if you haavent already posted such, for daughters? …Being that I’m sure that I’m not the only “kid” subscribed.
I’m sure you are not

I have read A Woman After God’s Own Heart and The Power Of A praying Wife. They are all great blessings! I need to check some of the others on your list… Thanks for sharing and hosting too. Have a super blessed day!
