Christian Book Review Programs

Christian Book Review Programs written on white brushstroke over image of red and beige striped twine tied into heart shape over open book

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. This list mostly applies to print and ebooks, although some publishers offer audiobooks as well.

If further information is available for any of the publishers below (or any missing publishers), please let me know as I am happy to update this list—thank you!

Please note that you can also search for these publishers on NetGalley and other review sites in case there are no review programs available or you don't qualify for one 😊

Review: Sirens and Sea Captains - Realms of Lurin #1

I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to read Courtney Denelsbeck 's books as they have made up for some of the fantasy books I didn't read in my childhood and youth 😄 If anyone else is like me, her stories are a great way to dip your toe into this vast genre. With Sirens and Sea Captains kicking off a new series, I get to combine my love of Regency tales with novellas that touch upon the fantastical. If you're interested in reading more, the Realms of Lurin series is "a multi-author collection of standalone magical regency-inspired fantasy novellas that take place in the same world," with eight books releasing this year. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis Siren attacks. A forced engagement. And the once-dignified lady made to live with pirates. Lenora's heart rips to pieces as she finds herself the latest victim of Thomas McKraven's char...

Review: The Road Less Triggered

If you're tired of going down the same path over and over again in your relationships, The Road Less Triggered by Dr. Kelly Flanagan seeks to break that cycle by providing tools to get us out of that rut. It's an aid for anyone going through counselling or thinking of seeking external help as it flips the mirror on what we can control and how we can respond. Many thanks to  Revell Books for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of : Quotations from authors such as Richard Rohr, Thich Nhat Hahn, etc. Though this book is published by a Christian publisher, please note that the content touches more on general revelation, with skills and tools that are not limited to Christians. Book Synopsis The Secret to Conflict-Proof Communication Build whole and healthy relationships that can weather life's storms Learn how to keep your heart open to those around you--even when you disagree From a licensed clin...
