My resolution for 2024 was to read more books. Outside of the books I read with my kids (Roald Dahl classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Narnia series, Harry Potter series were awesome to read with them), I read 25 non-fiction books and 1 slightly-fiction book.
I don't know what reading resolution I will give myself in 2025 or whether I will repeat this one, but I did really enjoy my 2024 in books. Some of the books were quick reads, some were slow chewing, some were absolutely wonderful and a couple were hardly worth my time.
I didn't do a book report on each by any means but I did do a rudimentary rating system. Any book that is a 5 Star is a tome worth recommending. Below are my 5 Star books and links to find them and my extremely brief note on each.
The Screwtape Letters -Everyone should read this
The Holiness of God - Great read to realign your affections to God's holiness
The Heart of Christ -Tough read, but soaked in lovely truths
The Anxious Generation -A must read for parents and educators
A Praying Life -Makes me want to pray
Leadership is an Art -I wish every boss would read it as it portrays an organization of worth
100 Portraits of Christ -Tremendous devotional book
Gay Girl, Good God -Great memoir of God's goodness
Life Together -A read for all who would gather and all who would lead
A Long Obedience in the Same Direction -It made me love the Psalms of Assent
Every Good Endeavor -Would be a wonderful book for a work discussion
The books above are my 5 Star. These are the best-of-the-best and my favorites of the year. If you're interested in the others and are looking for a book recommendation, let me know. It's been a fun year of reading.
I wish you a Happy New Year and perhaps a great day of reading today.
