Book Thoughts

This story about simulations colliding into each other to create an alternate reality was as engrossing as it was intriguing. I enjoyed the main characters and wanted to find out how they became trapped in an ongoing loop of scenarios. The physics and psychology behind this book were compelling, and I liked thinking through all of the factors described, including the coding and the intended usage of the technology created in the story. What I loved most was how well it conveyed the ongoing presence and omnipotence of God in a way that was delightfully creative while engaging the imagination.

As a result, this science fiction novel was intellectually and emotionally riveting in taking readers along on quite the historical and futuristic journey. It helped that the main characters were likeable and demonstrated strong ethics while trapped in circumstances beyond their control. I appreciated the author's intention in writing such a unique story about the human mind, free will, and selfless love while exploring the perils of self-sufficiency, obsession, and entitlement. If you enjoy reading a tale with a balance of mathematics and storytelling, A Moment That Sparked Infinity is an adventure that combines feats of engineering with the feats of God's love and provision.

One of the things I've been challenging myself to do this year has been to read more Christian books written by authors from other countries. I love that the body of Christ spans the four corners of the world and that we get to benefit from hearing so many different perspectives. I've also appreciated getting to know some amazing authors and readers online from other nations and continents as it's enriched my understanding of how Christians experience life. It helps me realize that the views I take for granted may only be limited to where I am situated, geographically and culturally. I haven't read all of the authors below yet, but here are a few Christian fiction authors who write from outside of North America if you're interested in reading more: Africa Ann J.

Review: Uncluttered Faith

Whenever I see a new Joshua Becker book, I read it. Make that a Christian book and I'll read it even sooner. Uncluttered Faith is perhaps the clearest and most unapologetically Christian book I've seen on the topic on minimalism and it's where the author's pastoral heart shines through the most. This book releases in February 2026 and is one that connects an intentional life to Gospel teachings in a way that is inspiring and attainable for believers. Many thanks to WaterBrook & Multnomah and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
