So what does the Christ-honoring, non-materialistic family look like? They invest primarily in the things that will leave this world with them and as a team they are all on this same pursuit. They experience freedom and more time for the things most important because they have limited resources that they own in order not to be owned by them. They experience constant joy because the only source of joy they expect is from the Lord. They do not need to have stuff to impress others because the only person they seek to please is the Lord. They have no compelling love for the shadows of the world because their hearts see the true Substance, the beauty of God’s marvelous light. They have their priorities right: things are to be used and people are to be loved. They are content people following Christ and therefore have a great family because their mutual trust is not in material things which will let us down, but in the One who always delivers.

Susan,
I really like all of them. Although with Rahab I didn't think wow
this was great,and get the whole thing until the end. A MUST read in my
opinion is the Ruth. I loved them all though. I would recommend getting them
all for your church library. Oh what fun that would be buying books with
someone elses money and being able to read them also.
I enjoyed your book list of favorites and am going to add a few to my
want list.
I have read Elizabeth George's A Woman After God's Own Heart twice. I
am sure the ladies at your church are being blessed by the study. It taught
me a lot about my priorities, I never put this book back on my bookshelf, I
look through it once a week for reference or a quick read to boast me along.
On my Christmas wish list is one of her latest books, A Woman's High Calling,
I would like both the book and the study guide.
I look forward to more chatting also in the future. As an mom with
grown children I am sure I could learn a lot from you.
In His Love and grace,
Linda
