Book Reviews

As I review books, I will add the links to this page as a quasi-index.

The label for "review" can also be utilized if there is interest in viewing the reviews chronologically.

Reviews will be divided into the broad categories of Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction, and clean fiction with sub-genres, and then listed alphabetically by author's last name (except for series which will be listed alphabetically by series title) and in publication order (where possible).

Please note that although most, if not all, books should be written by Christian authors, they may not be marketed as exclusively a Christian book. I have since added a clean fiction category to denote some of these titles where the author may be Christian but there is little-to-no Christian content within the book.

Thank you for stopping by!

More than a Door

I don't know if anyone else feels the same way I do when it comes to reading Christian fiction, but you'll probably notice that I seldom reference what I read as being closed door. This is mostly because I tend to review Christian books where my natural assumption is that any sexual ethics conveyed within the book stems from a Christian worldview. Obviously, I can't always take this at face value as some books that are being promoted as being Christian by publishers or book reviewers may contain content which could either push the boundary or outright cross the line of what should be biblical and God-honouring. While I do sometimes share reviews of books that fall into this category on my blog in the spirit of transparency and helping other believers, I try for the large part to avoid books where sin may come across as being glorified. It helps when I can check reviews on Goodreads or from trusted reviewers on Instagram. At the same time, "closed door" or even ...

Review: The Church in Dark Times

It's unfortunate that in the world we live in, one of places that is meant to offer sanctuary can become the same place that disrupts it and steals it away from its members. The Church in Dark Times: Understanding and Resisting the Evil That Seduced the Evangelical Movement by Mike Cosper immediately caught my attention and kept it as it extols the need to critically evaluate what is happening in our churches today. Many thanks to Brazos Press  and  NetGalley  for providing a copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions. In The Church in Dark Times , cultural critic Mike Cosper unveils this dynamic in the growing crisis of abuse and other failures in...

Review: Love, Laughter, and Luminarias

I love that I had a bit of time last month to enjoy some Christmas novellas I had been waiting to dive into all year, including Love, Laughter, and Luminarias by Jaycee Weaver. Not only was this a fun book, but it helped make the Christmas season—and likely any season—even brighter with its fun story. Book Synopsis He has his books. She has her fandoms. They've always had their friendship. Could this be the season that sparks feelings neither knew were there? Surprisingly successful action-suspense author Garrett Wilson is struggling to write a summer novel in December. That is, until he witnesses his best friend, Nina, chase down a shoplifter and realizes that maybe his tough, attractive heroine might not be based solely in fiction. Geeky-chic Nina Trujillo finds herself contemplating a God she’s never believed in after her brush with danger taking down a thief. That one decision could change the whole course of her life, and quite possibly, her feelings for the one guy she’s nev...
