Many of the best books published each year are written by women and for women. Here are the ones I most gladly recommend.

The big question Furman explores is simply this: How does the gospel change the way a woman lives out her calling as a homemaker?

Wagner’s concern is for women to embrace their “fierce” qualities and to use them for God’s glory instead of for destructive ends.


Risen Motherhood is a book about applying the gospel to the unique joys and challenges of being a mom.

Women's Ministry in the Local Church
Duncan and Hunt focus specifically on the unique opportunities women have to serve in the life of the local church.

Jen writes to women and encourages them to be women of the Word.



Written for women, this book addresses the issues of pornography, fantasy and erotica from a female perspective.

A strong response to the ideology that has swept through the modern West, and a compassionate one toward those it has harmed.

The mundanity of motherhood is exactly where God gives mothers the opportunity to serve others and bring glory to his name.

On caring for aging parents—biblical, helpful, and practical. A book that will help so many.

Written out of her own battle with anxiety. Deeply theological and very practical.

Written by a mother who lost a child in utero, to minister to women who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth.

Her goal is not to have women resign from their jobs and become full-time homemakers, but to help every woman understand that God has called her to a specific role within her own home, and then to faithfully embrace it. Her burden is to help women see how the tasks they carry out in the home connect to their God-given purpose, and she accomplishes that well.
