I love to read books; especially books on the Bible and theology. As you can see, with only 52 books on the list, I am not a fast reader and look with great admiration at those who can read a 600 page volume of dense theology in a week. But slow reading, it seems to me, does give one to greater reflection. Below I will list the Christian books as well as fiction and non-fiction books I read in 2019. Most of these books were very good but inclusion of a book on this list does not necessarily imply an endorsement. Those books which are particularly excellent and would recommend that you must pick up, I have given five stars beside them (*****).
