Recom­mended Reads

What makes our book review site different?

  1. We’re looking through a Christian lens for what is praiseworthy, with a particular emphasis on steering clear (with only the rarest of exceptions) of anything that takes God’s Name in vain. See here for more on how we evaluate books.
  2. These are all recommendations. Some sites review the latest, both the good and the bad. We’re passing on only our favorites, no matter what year they were published (just so long as they are still in print). That means parents won’t find many of these on local bookstore shelves, but you will be able to reserve them at your library or find them on Amazon.
