Books Read - 2025

January 2025
  • Cultural Sanctification: Engaging the World like the Early Church - Stephen O. Presley (NF).
  • Holier Than Thou: How God's Holiness Helps Us Trust Him - Jackie Hill Perry (NF).

February 2025
  • Wind and Truth (The Stormlight Archive, Book #5) - Brandon Sanderson (F).
  • The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis and J.R R. Tolkien - John Hendrix (NF).  I loved this book! Just really beautifully done. 
  • Broken Bayou - Jennifer Moorhead (F).
  • Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World - Melissa Dougherty (NF).
  • The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife - Anna Johnston (F).
  • The Killing Plains - Sherry Rankin (F).  This one was ok.  I enjoyed it enough to finish it, but it followed the formulaic pattern closely enough I had figured out who the murderer was and the motive well before the end. 
  • The Storied Life: Christian Writing as Art and Worship - Jared C. Wilson (NF).  One of my favorite books so far this year. This book about writing is so beautifully written, I found myself experiencing "that stab of joy" over and over again as I highlighted and devoured the language. It makes me want to pick up my pen again and start writing.  I had lost my joy for it for a long time, but maybe it's time to try again.
March 2025
  • Otherworld - Jared C. Wilson (F).
  • You Shall Be as Gods: Pagans, Progressives, and the Rise of the Woke Gnostic Left - Erick Erickson (NF).
  • Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh (F).
  • Till We Have Faces - C.S. Lewis (F).
