Not Just the Bible: A Christian Guide to Books and Reading

Does God care what we read? Should fiction make the list? First up in our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how Christians should think about reading, both the Bible and books beyond it. We share why Christians should value books and learning, how reading forms our attention and empathy, and why old books still matter today. We unpack how reading shapes who we become and how we see the world and we provide some practical tips for becoming better readers. Plus, we invite you to put it all into practice through our Not Just Sacred Book Club. More details below!  🗳️ Which book should we read together?
