The Nightingale
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah follows two sisters trying to survive and follow their conscious in Germany occupied France. Understanding the Holocaust from a French perspective was eye-opening and Hannah does an incredible job at getting the reader to feel the agony of the situation. The book will continually cause you to ask yourself what you would do in that situation. I am still emotionally recovering from this book. It is going in my top 10 for sure.

Curve-Ball
Dr. Pete Enns describes his journey from certainty in traditional Christian faith to understanding God and scripture in bigger, more mysterious ways than he ever could have imagined. Some of my favorite parts about this book were Dr. Enns’ description of humans as God’s image-bearers and why human relationships are sacred and so important to God, as well as trying to grasp God in the context of some super nerdy space science. Great book!

What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice
In this book, author Skye Jethani explores what the gospels say about several areas of justice including social, spiritual, and eternal. Jethani is one of my favorite podcasters and co-hosts The Holy Post, but this is the first of his books I have read. I love his take on God’s justice being restorative and allowing people to experience their own consequences rather than causing harm to come to His children. Highly recommend.
