Here are some favorite book recommendations for this month. I hope you’ll be blessed by these.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Fiction –
The Clause in Christmas by Rachael Bloome
I enjoyed this uplifting story of a young woman searching for answers, direction, and meaning in her life. She inherits a house from her unknown grandmother, but it’s conditional on her completing her grandma’s “Christmas calendar” of activities. Of course, there’s a charming small town, a handsome lawyer, and plenty of Christmas, as the heroine discovers who she wants to be and finds her home.
(This book is not “Christian fiction” but it’s a sweet, inspirational read.)
Non-Fiction –
Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund
A friend gave me this book, and they were right about how wonderful it is! Every chapter reveals more of Christ’s heart for us. We can’t fully grasp how loving, merciful, gracious, kind, and good Jesus is…but this book sure helps! I’ll warn you that it isn’t light reading. There are many quotes from classic Christian writers, which aren’t always easy to understand. But the deep truths presented are so powerful and freeing! I highly recommend taking the time to read, meditate on, and be transformed by the truths in this beautiful book.
Devotional –
Conversations with the Most High: 365 Days in God’s Presence by Jennifer Kennedy Dean (KU)
This year-long devotional has a unique format that offers quick daily encouragement. Each day starts with either a short prayer to God or a brief word as if God were speaking to you, His child. That is followed by a relevant quotation from other Christian authors, both classic and contemporary. These bite-sized thoughts give you something to consider throughout the day and practice God’s wonderful presence with you.
(KU – available in Kindle Unlimited)
