“You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~C.S. Lewis
You have now entered my favorite happy place! It’s no secret that not only am I a bookworm but a struggling Bibliophile as well. If you’re looking for good Christian books to read, you’ve come to the right place.
Word is out that I am also a book reviewer. I review new and upcoming books for a couple of publishing companies including; Baker Books, Bethany House, Revell, Chosen, Moody Publishers, Crossway, and B&H/Lifeway. I post them on my Book Blog, “Evelyn’s Bookshelf” you can check it out if you like. You can also follow me on my GoodReads, I’m always adding new friends to share our reads.
The lists below contain ALL the books (and more) that I have ever discussed or recommended throughout blog posts. I decided that it would be neater to just have them all in one place and make it easier for you.
***DISCLAIMERS: I do not share all of the authors’ views in these books nor do I endorse any belief that may be construed as unbiblical. I urge the reader to seek discernment before picking a book and to test everything they read against the Scriptures.
I am not paid or compensated to promote the aforementioned publishers. I share the above information as a service to my readers and thoroughly enjoy making recommendations that may interest the general public. I receive free copies of newly released books in exchange for written honest reviews. Aside from one book copy per requested title, I receive no monetary compensation or reward of any kind to write about or therefore, promote the companies’ products.

***Because some of these authors and their works are well-known and extensive I have only provided their names. Since you have probably heard of these authors and because they have too many books to name, it seemed redundant to include all of their works I’d recommend.***
