Why am I passionate about this?

In every book that I have recommended, you’ll find the dynamics of family and love. I’ve been a pastor for over fifteen years and now work as an author of both Christian fiction and non-fiction books. I'm a Chaplain for a Trauma One leveled hospital, and I counsel people of all ages. My master's degree in Religious Education is also a much-used tool as I’ve used education to deepen my quest to obtain knowledge. My love of books about family and love began when I lived in Yokosuka, Japan. I was far away from my family, beginning a new chapter with my own family, but right on the verge of learning how friends can truly turn into family.

Danyelle Scroggins Why did I love this book?

For years, I would just skim through it as the pastor would say, “Turn in your Bibles to this passage.” But by the time I was twenty-seven, it hit me that this book was a must-read that produces faith. Thus began my journey of reading for self-revelation, healing, growth, but most of all, faith.

I love it because no matter how old it is, it lends messages of hope, healing, and restoration that cannot or should not be ignored. The greatest value I’ve gotten from the Bible is the power of love.

Book cover of How Faith Works

Danyelle Scroggins Why did I love this book?

When I was seeking God for some things greater than I felt I deserved, I began to search for reading material that could strengthen my faith and help me understand some of the things shared in the Word of God pertaining to faith. Well, the late Dr. Fredrick Price became my go-to-author. In this book, he really dissects some of the greatest stories pertaining to faith found in the Bible and helps his readers to get a full and complete understanding. I am recommending this book because it’s definitely an easy but informative read that you won’t soon forget.
