Books We Love

I don't say this lightly: this has become my favorite book of all time. From the very first chapter I was hooked, and before long I was weeping.

Y'all told me for months to jump on this bandwagon, and I'm so sorry I waited. I told myself I'd stop after Book 4 — alas, I couldn't. Consider this your sign.

For the reader who has everything. An absolute delight on audiobook — smart, funny, and heartfelt. You have to listen to this one.

Here's your next holiday read by the fire! Ann Swindell weaves a delightful tale of mystery, romance, and Christmas charm. Cozy, intriguing, and perfect for the season!

After letting my 9-year-old read the first book, she specifically asked for book two for Christmas!

Honest, hope-filled, and deeply rooted in Scripture. If you've ever wrestled with grief or unanswered prayer, it offers language for your pain.

If you're a woman aged 13 to 99, you've struggled with invasive thoughts. What I love most is how practical it is — guided meditations worth taking weeks to work through.

When the lies feel louder than the truth, I pull this out and instantly the Lord uses it to quiet them. Whether you're in the fight or not, read this book.

The way Russ Ramsey explores the intersection of art, suffering, and the human condition is simply beautiful. Even if art “isn't your thing,” this is a must-read.

The classic that started it all — letters from one devil to another. Pairs beautifully with My Dear Hemlock as a two-book gift.

The first half is heavy as it exposes modern smartphone use, but by the second half the hope of the gospel shines through, and you walk away with real hope. And it's my husband's book, so I need to support him. ;-)

If you've ever read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, this book will feel familiar! A fascinating and thought-provoking read—I highly recommend it!

Russ Ramsey's previous book, Rembrandt Is in the Wind, was probably one of my favorite books of 2022. The way he explores the intersection of art, suffering, and the human condition is simply beautiful! Even if art 'isn't your thing'—this book is a must read.

It's rich, accessible, and full of gospel clarity—perfect if you've been shaped by Keller's work or just want to grow in everyday faithfulness.

Few books have been as instrumental in my faith. Having both of these books in ONE stunning gift edition is honestly such the perfect move. Mother's Day gift? Check. Gift for a new woman of the faith? Check. Gift for your daughter's graduation? Check.

My kids range from 2 to 9, and each one finds something in the daily readings that encourages their heart toward Christ. The perfect stocking stuffer.

Arlo learns he can't fly — that he is exactly who God has made him to be: a little boy, made in God's image. A clean, gentle gospel hook.

Slow, character-driven storytelling that's hard to find these days. By the end I was full-blown crying. (Heads up: books 1–2 lean hard on “stupid” and “dumb.”)

A household favorite — engaging stories with beautiful illustrations. Mini biographies of ordinary people God used to do extraordinary things.

Abbey's book is a gentle, honest companion for those moments. She doesn't downplay the weight of our failures, but she also refuses to let us stay there—it leaves you with more of Jesus than guilt.

This book has been such an encouragement in my parenting—reminding me of the weight and wonder of my words. It gently but clearly calls me to speak to my children the way God speaks to us: with truth, patience, and grace.
