I found this particular book fantastic and completely Biblical. In the same way a Christian can read a secular book they don't necessarily 100% agree with or 100% agree with the lifestyle choices of the author, I think Christians can read books by Christian authors they don't 100% align with and still gain something of value from the book. To only read those with whom you 100% agree with is to read books written only by you.

Thank you for taking the time to write the blurb for each one and for putting together a list for everyone to choose to either read or not read.

Does your library have an online ordering option? Because although it is not the same as browsing in person, most online catalogs still show pictures or give descriptions. Do you have a good reads account? That's another great way to get recommendations for books that you might like. Follow your friends, follow me, follow anybody you know that is an avid reader and see what they are reading.

I used to read all the time, but since our library is semi-closed (you can't go in and browse, but you can call them and tell them what books you want) I haven't been reading nearly as much. I often pull my almost 13 year old daughter's book off her shelf and read. Her current favorite author right now is Gordon Korman, so I've read several of his books!Megan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559452070976940426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-10405492072016686352020-12-30T07:06:08.873-08:002020-12-30T07:06:08.873-08:00You are welcome!

That said, I don't agree with everything Beth Moore says or does, but I can say that about every single person I've ever met. I don't agree with every writer listed on this list. If I only read books from people who were 100% in line with Scripture, I'd only read from Scripture. I think it's a dangerous idea to only read books from people you agree with. Echo-chamber reading closes you off to learning what the enemy is up to and/or learning that you could possibly be wrong. I read books from plenty of people I don't agree with Scripturally in order that I can have an educated discourse with others about it, combatting the lies or inaccuracy. Case in point, I've read many Rachel Hollis and Jen Hatmaker books, not because I agree with their theology, but because I know many women enamored with their writing and who seek me out for book opinions. I want to be able to give them a thorough and Biblical review. That said, books don't make my best list when they are off-center in doctrine or theology. This particular book was not. It was an exceptional look at Christ's place as the vine and our place as the branches. Again, thank you for weighing in. I truly appreciate the conversation. <br /> Jamie Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210544168493409813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-67462569179449520082020-12-30T04:05:54.673-08:002020-12-30T04:05:54.673-08:00These suggestions look great!

Mother to Son and the Chan's book also look wonderful.
