go-to commentaries are the "Be" series by Warren Wiersbe. I have had Be Concerned for years but had never read it. It focuses on the Minor Prophets: Amos, Obadiah, Micah, and Zephaniah.

Series: What if Jesus Was Serious

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Theology, Devotional, Christian Living

My Review:
Skye Jethani has become an "auto" read author. I have read all his books in the What If Jesus Was Serious series. What If Jesus Was Serious About Heaven? is best read slowly, allowing time to ponder each section.

My Review:
As soon as 90 Day Bible Reading Challenge Read the Whole Bible, Change Your Whole Life crossed my radar I knew I wanted to read it. I had read another book by Mary DeMuth and enjoyed it. Plus, I have read the Bible, but never in such a short time frame.

My Review:
The Cost of Control Why We Crave It, The Anxiety it Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises is the first book I have read by Sharon Hodde Miller, but it won't be the last. I checked it out of the library, but by the end of the second chapter it was one I knew I needed to own.

My Review:
My go-to commentaries are the "Be" series by Warren Wiersbe. I decided I wanted to read Ephesians again, so I picked up my copy of Be Rich to enhance my experience.
I read 38 nonfiction books in 2023. I thought I had read more, but, obviously, I read more fiction (198) than nonfiction.
In no particular order, here are my top 5 nonfiction reads from 2023 (click on the cover if you want to read my review):

I am making an effort to read books I own. I have had Get Off Your Knees & Pray by Sheila Walsh on my shelf for at least ten years.
Author: Lysa Terkeurst

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Self-help, Christian Living

My Review:
Lysa Terkeurst is a great Bible Teacher. I have read several of her books. I appreciate her writing style, putting Scripture first and then citing other examples to explain her point. I'll Start Again Monday is not a diet book, it is a journey.
