2022 is the sixth year that I’ve kept a file on my top Christian reads for the year. You can follow my reviews on Goodreads or BookBub. I read a lot of new authors this year especially in the area of historical fiction, especially Biblical-era fiction, as my upcoming series will be in the Old-Testament era. These books aren’t listed in any particular order. 1. Alabaster by Chris Aslan 5-star wow! A novel based on the story of Mary, Martha,…
Did you even know that you could recommend books for your local library? One of the things that has surprised me is that public libraries, even in Australia, will buy Christian fiction or Christian books. US libraries have HUGE Christian or clean fiction sections. For other countries, you’ll have to try and see. Even here, the librarian might block CF but if you can go to their shelves and find prominent US-CF authors, then you have a better argument that…

“BookBub is a book discovery service that was created to help readers find new books and authors. The company features free and discounted ebooks selected by its editorial team, as well as book recommendations, updates from authors, and articles about books.” (Wikipedia) The company is most well-known in the US but it also does promotions for Canada, the UK, and Australia.

I have previously written a post on the ‘why’ of reviews. If you are convinced enough to want to help your favourite author in this way, sometimes it is still not enough. Many first-time reviewers need to be guided through the process. Below I will list the main sites that would help me personally. You DO NOT have to do all of them. If you are reviewing in multiple places, then you can just copy and paste the same review…

2021 is the fifth year that I’ve kept a file on my top Christian reads for the year. You can follow my reviews on Goodreads or BookBub. I found it difficult to choose ten fiction books this year and so will (as I’ve done in the past) add in some non-fiction. These books aren’t listed in any particular order. 1. The Silk Merchant of Sychar (Cindy Williams) I love Biblical fiction if it is Biblically accurate and takes us into…
