Whether it's a Mother's Day gift you're looking for, a birthday gift for Mom, or just a great new book to read for yourself, try one of these Christian books for women.

1. Finding Grace

Finding Grace: A Memoir
By Donna VanLiere
Few women make their way into adult life without at least one heartbreak. Many of us know all too well what it means to suffer painful losses of unanswered prayers and broken dreams. If you've ever questioned where God was or what he was doing in the most difficult moments of your life, you will relate to this true and inspiring story. If you haven't yet found peace, this book will help you encounter the grace needed to live, laugh and love beyond the heartache. VanLiere wrote the bestselling Christmas Hope series, a collection of Christmas gift books. Finding Grace makes a great Mother's Day gift; however, if you decide to wrap it up for Mom, I'd recommend accompanying it with a supply of tissues.

2. Becoming the Woman God Wants Me to Be

Becoming the Woman God Wants Me to Be
By Donna Partow
Almost every Christian woman I know longs to a "Proverbs 30 Woman." Well, this book is a 90-day guide for becoming just that—the woman God has made you to be. Partow's approach touches all areas, including the physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects of a woman's life. It is biblical, practical and relevant to the issues and time demands of women today. Faith, family, fitness, appearance and fashion, finances, household management, ministry, and business are all covered along the way of this path toward a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Lost Women of the Bible: The Women We Thought We Knew
By Carolyn James
Did the women of the Bible face the same challenges and pressures that women confront today? You might be surprised to know the answer is yes! That's because the messages from women in Scripture have gotten somewhat lost and overlooked. Carolyn James shows us just how relevant the stories of biblical women are for women of the 21st century. Get to know Mary, Sarah, Tamar, Eve and many other examples of godly female mentors through this fresh and inspiring perspective.
