About

Welcome to Christian Shelves!

It's pretty self-explanatory, but the blog is named for bookshelves... containing Christian books. I know shelves aren't inherently Christian, but treat it as symbolism or a metaphor 😄

If you're new to this blog, here are some posts that you may be interested in reading.

I also have collections of posts that delve into specific topics under Links.

Faith

As a Christian, I adhere to most Statements or Confessions of Faith that are made by Protestant churches and organizations. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada provides an all-encompassing Statement of Faith for its affiliates that I have utilized.

Reviews

I currently review books through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer Program, NetGalley, and directly through authors and select publishers and publicists, including Moody Publishers' Influencer Review Program, Kregel Reviewer Program, and Harlequin's Shameless Romantics content creator community (see full list under Christian Book Review Programs).

If there is a way for Christian books to be sent to Canada, I am all ears! I also beta read books for authors I already have a relationship with, although if time opens up for me down the road, I am willing to expand what I presently do.


Just for fun, here are some other badges I've received:

For authors who would like to share more about their books with me, you can do so through this Christian Book Review Requests form. Thank you!

Statistics

Here are some quick numbers if you're keen to discover more about Christian Shelves:

  • 4: countries where authors for whom I have beta read reside
  • 6: years of theological higher education I have pursued
  • 300+ (and counting): reviews of Christian fiction and Christian non-fiction books shared on this blog
  • 700+: books on my absurdly long TBR
  • 1,800+: Christian books I have read since I started keeping track of them; excludes many more prior to this date
  • 2,500+: followers on social media (Instagram only; excludes Goodreads, etc.)
  • Infinity: time I wish I had to read more books!

Disclosure

Please note that I participate in the Amazon Associates program and as such, may earn from qualifying purchases based on the links I share. In receiving complimentary ARCs, I provide voluntary reviews that reflect my own opinion.

*Note: I have reenrolled in the Amazon Associates program for the third time as of December 2025; however, the affiliate links will take some time to populate. Apparently, the program doesn't allow you to only earn a few cents on it, so I had to leave it after two unsuccessful attempts 😂

I'd love to be able to somehow monetize the work that I do on here as it does take quite a bit of time from my schedule, but for now, I'll have to contend myself with winning giveaways 🤣

Contact

If you'd like to get in touch, you can email christianshelves [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thank you for stopping by—have a blessed day!

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. 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 😊 Christian Publishers B&H Publishing Group Previously offered the B&H/Lifeway Blogger program which has since closed Availability: Professors and instructors Link:  B&H Academic Book Requests Baker Publishing Group Availability: U.S. and Canadian residents Genre: Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction Imprints: Bet...

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...
