BOOKS by Lynne Hybels
Nice Girls Don’t Change the World (Zondervan, 2005) Lynne Hybels. “Nice girls” are taught early that serving God means earning God's love and sacrificing oneself to meet the needs of others. After living a life she thought was what God demanded, her husband wanted, her kids needed, and her church expected, Lynne Hybels felt utterly lost—both to herself and to God. In this wise and tender book, Hybels tells of her struggle to stop living someone else's life and to reclaim the unique gifts, strengths, and passions God gave her.
Fit to be Tied (Zondervan, 1997). By Bill and Lynne Hybels. Bill and Lynne Hybels draw on their own personal experience and a guiding faith to offer practical advice on how to enjoy a lifetime of togetherness—from finding a suitable mate and dealing with the most common marital problems to avoiding the pitfalls that can sabotage a healthy relationship.
Rediscovering Church (Zondervan, 1997). By Bill and Lynne Hybels. The candid story of Willow Creek Community Church's phenomenal growth, from 100 members meeting in a Palatine, Illinois, movie theater to its present Sunday morning attendance of 15,000.
