Loved this! So many books added to my TBR

Favorite nonfiction of the year (and pretty high on the list of all time favorites) was Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber. Beautiful memoir story of coming to Christ, that reads like a novel. Just so so good. Favorite Christian Fiction was The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof. This story got me. It is historical romance but so so beautiful and heart wrenching in a good way and a beautiful representation of the Gospel. Be sure to read the Author’s note at the end. 😆

That’s kind of cool about On Eagles Wings

So great that you loved Memory Lane!

Definitely added some of these to my ever-growing TBR. Some of my favorite Christian nonfiction books from this year were: Another Gospel by Alisa Childers, the Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. Happy New Year!

I loved the magician’s nephew as well

I need to try some Sophie Hannah!

I just stumbled upon your channel ❤I love it - I did the Micah 2 bible study and was so excited to hear that you love books!!!!! I read a ton of Christian mystery books … reading Nancy Mehl now - soooo good my fav book of the year was When the day comes by Gabrielle Myer - oh my gosh it was so so good 😊 I will check out some of the book you suggested …. What’s your fav Christian muster author ? Oh and Francine rivers has so many great books I have actually read them all😆- the atonement child is amazing by her Thanks for your videos ♥️

Oooh, maybe I’ll have to read the Magpie Murders!!

One of my favorite books of 2023 was Every Woman a Theologian by Phylicia Masonheimer. It gave me a lot of things to think about and look into during my Bible time. I also just started Holy Hygge by Jamie Erickson, and if the first couple chapters are any indication of how I'm going to feel about the rest of the book, it's going to be a 5-star read. I'm just really wanting to focus on slowing down, enjoying the small things, and being more intentional with my time this year, and I'm hoping this book will help with that.

Please don’t stop recommending books! Not too many Christian KZfaqrs do, also that are aligned with my beliefs. Thoughts on Powerless by Lauren Robert’s? I just finished Wingless Bird by Catherine Cookson.

Loved this! Thanks, Kendra. You always give me such good ideas for books to read. I’m not sure if you ever read historical fiction. I’ve watched all your book review videos, but can’t remember for sure. If you’re interested, I just finished The Little Liar, Mitch Albom’s latest book, and it was one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s about the holocaust and I really thought it was good timing for what’s going on in the world today.

My top two favorite reads of ALL TIME are The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah and When The Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer! EVERYONE GO AND READ THESE TWO BOOKS!🎉

I read Magpie Murders years ago and remember liking it. A Quiet Retreat sounds good. I love when people are trapped in a location. In books, not in real life😆

I really think you'd enjoy Heather Webber books! I guess they'd be considered magical realism where they have supernatural aspects but nothing creepy or overwhelming. I read a few of hers last year and they were all my favorites for the year! Very cozy 🥰

I have Narrow Gate Narrow Way but haven't read it yet. I also love Paul Washer:)

Thank you for your inspiration with some new books! I recently discovered this book: The Purpose Driven Life - from pastor Rick Warren… Do you know it? I really like it. :)

Read any by Julie Kramer. She’s my cousin. She writes about real stuff and she’s done stuff with The Today Show. I think you’d like her books. She’s kind of a mystery writer. I loved Jinger’s book. I need to read Jill’s but don’t own it yet. Julie writes murder mystery too.

I really like Sophie Hannah:)

Should you be reading murder books as a Christian?

Love Paul Washer!!

I felt the same way about Riley Sager’s book. Sooo disappointing
