The Let Them Theory — Mel Robbins

This book set me free in so many ways. It’s about releasing control, letting people be who they are, and choosing peace over constant striving. For me, it was a reminder that I’m not in charge of everything — God is — and when I let go, I actually find more joy, freedom, and love.

Dare to Lead by Brene Brown

Dare to Lead — Brené Brown

Leadership isn’t about power — it’s about courage, vulnerability, and leading with love. Brené Brown reminds us that whole hearts lead best, whether in business, family, or faith. This book is a call to step up bravely, even when it feels scary, because people need the real us, not a polished version.

Don't Believe Everything you think book for sale, great book for overthinkers

Don’t Believe Everything You Think — Joseph Nguyen

Sometimes our minds run on overdrive, and we forget the truth: not every thought deserves our attention. This book helped me breathe, slow down, and realize that peace doesn’t come from controlling life — it comes from trusting God and letting go of the lies we’ve believed for too long.

Everybody Writes book for sale, learn more about how anyone can become a writer

Everybody Writes — Ann Handley

Words are powerful — they connect, inspire, and move people. Ann Handley reminds us that we don’t have to be perfect writers to tell stories that matter. This book taught me to embrace my own voice, write with heart, and trust that the right words will find their way when we show up authentically.

The Creative Way by Rick Rubin

The Creative Act: A Way of Being — Rick Rubin

Rick Rubin writes about creativity like it’s a way of life — because it is. His reflections remind me that God is the ultimate Creator, and we get to reflect His beauty when we make art, raise families, or simply live with intention. This book is a guide to slowing down and creating from the soul.

The Artists Way, Start Being the Artist you always wanted to be

The Artist’s Way — Julia Cameron

This book changed the way I look at creativity. Julia Cameron’s gentle guidance through “morning pages” and “artist dates” feels like an invitation from God Himself to slow down, listen, and rediscover the gifts He placed inside of you. If you’ve ever felt blocked, this book is a breath of fresh air.
