I’m a bit late this year, but here are several “best books of 2017” posts. With a great variety of categories, there is something for everyone. If you are looking for some good books to read this year, check out these lists.
Christianity Today’s 2018 Book Awards
Best Books of 2017 – Kevin DeYoung
Top 17 Books of 2017 – Tony Reinke
My Top Books of 2017 – Jared Wilson
The Collected Best Christian Books of 2017 – Tim Challies
One of my top books for 2017, that showed up a few times on the above lists, is David Murray’s book Reset which I highly recommend (even passed out a few).
For youth, Jaquelle Crowe’s book This Changes Everything also showed up several times. I am taking our youth group through it right now.
For children you might try Trillia Newbell’s God’s Very Good Idea which is also on numerous lists.
A few others that are now on my reading list include This Is Our Time by Trevin Wax, The Story of Reality by Greg Koukl, Recapturing the Wonder by Mike Cosper, and The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing: A Theological Commentary by Jonathan Pennington.
And if you want to know in general what not to read, you might check out Tim Challies’ new post: A Guided Tour to 2017’s Bestselling Christian Books. Surely we can do better.
