Reading has always been a passion of mine since I was little. And still today, reading is one of my favorite things to do.
There is so much to gain by reading. Many books hold great truth and wisdom. You can learn so many new things just by reading a couple of pages.
Christian books are my favorite books to read because they help to grow my faith.
Whether it’s a biography or a type of information book, faith-filled books are great to add to your daily life. They tell you of other believers’ journeys and help you dig deeper into your calling as a child of God.
Below are ten books that have helped grow my faith in some way. These are in no particular order and range from autobiographies to Bible studies.
So here you go—10 books to add to your reading list this year!
