2024 Clearly Christian Readathon

What You Read Shapes Who You Become

The heart of this readathon is to identify, celebrate, and promote books that are unashamed in clearly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This upcoming year, we invite you to participate in the #ClearlyChristianReadathon!

Let's be intentional with the books that we read by following Philippians 4:8: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

As a result, may we become Christians who increasingly exhibit the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

With God's help, we want our reading to continually point toward Him, spurring us to reflect Him in our lives.

Ways to Participate:

  • Short on time? The Bible is the best place to be and the best place to start. Begin by memorizing Philippians 4:8 and Galatians 5:22-23 and spending time each day with God. There are no rules, just a genuine desire to see readers choose the Bible first.
  • Have more time? Commit to reading 24 #ClearlyChristianBooks in 2024. Each month, select a book that reflects Philippians 4:8 and another one that reflects Galatians 5:22-23. You can cycle through all of the attributes (more than once!) or select the ones that God may be impressing on your heart the most. If you don't have 24 Christian books to choose from, books of the Bible count!
  • Have even more time? Share these books with other readers using the hashtag #ClearlyChristianReadathon and how God has been using it in your life. Help other readers find edifying Christian titles by posting your reviews and thoughts! If you are on Goodreads, you can join the Clearly Christian Readathon group to meet like-minded readers and share your experiences there as well.
Join Devoted to Hope, Christian Books and Coffee, and me in this reading adventure for 2024!

Send us a message on our blogs or Instagram accounts, and we can send you materials to get you started, or just join the group to see all the fun things that are being posted 😄

If you're looking for some images that can be used to accompany your reading journey, check them out below, on Instagram, and in the group.

Christian Book Review Programs

Over time, I've been on the hunt for Christian book review programs that readers can join. As a result, I've been able to compile the following list which may be of interest if you are seeking review copies of Christian books.

Review: Pride and Practicality

After reading  Sense and Suitability by Pepper Basham , I've been absolutely hooked on how she writes a Regency story! Pride and Practicality follows Simon Reeves' sister, Arianna, as she returns home to her family after escaping a scandal. I love her redemption story and am so thrilled that I've also been able to meet my favourite clergyman, Thomas Bridges. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis In a world ruled by reputation, compassion may be the most scandalous act of all. Arianna Reeves knows how quickly admiration can turn into exile. One poorly placed trust, one disastrously charming rake, and she is no longer society's darling—but its favorite cautionary tale. Now returned home—uninvited and unmistakably whispered about—Arianna is determined to make amends with her estranged family and do something useful with her thoroughly ruined life. Even ...

Story Follow-Up

It seems that I opened up a can of worms with a story I shared yesterday regarding how I felt inundated by stories and posts featuring LDS authors on Christian Bookstagram. Since it's difficult to share on stories (IG has been quite glitchy for me recently), I'll share more here for context. Please don't read this if the topic isn't of interest to you or if you don't care too much about the theological background of the authors you're reading; that's absolutely fine with me if you don't read on 😀 Let me start off by saying that it's hard to convey things in a one-page story. I prayed that I would choose the words that would matter to summarize my thoughts, while acknowledging that they are imperfect and incomplete. If you met me in real life, you'd know that I'm fairly unassuming, very soft-spoken, and reticent to stir up controversy. I can see why people feel a little bit more bold online. That being said, I wrote this with a heart of conce...
