My reading list for 2018 has finally come together! There is something here for almost everyone, with no trashy content surprises (except I may need to do another list for cookbooks, health and gardening books another time).

This is one of my favorite weeks of each year: looking back and looking forward at the same time, but I have to make myself breathe because it’s a short week and so many things to do and plan for!

Happy book choosing and reading, readers. I had fun putting my list together. I’m wishing for even more fun knocking them off my list, some again!

Evidence Not Seen, by Darlene Rose

Fierce Women: The Power of a Soft Warrior by Kimberly Wagner

List to Read (or Listen to) Again!

Les Miserables (Radio Theatre) Audio CD by Victor Hugo via Focus on the Family 

The Cross and the Switchblade, by David Wilkerson

Jane Eyre, by Bronte (unabridged) on audio for full richness of the beauty of the gospel

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness, by Dave Ramsey

For Family listening time: Robinson Crusoe Audio CD, Unabridged. Such very real struggles with which even young (5-8 yo) children can identify. A favorite book for many years. The vocabulary is daunting which makes audio such a blessing (let’s NOT lose daunting words!). The gospel is rich, rich, rich in this, but never in anyway sentimental.

Quest For Meekness and Quietness of Spirit, by Matthew Henry

Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers (for any woman with a difficult past or who feels shame and desires spiritual healing – my favorite all time read!)

GIVE ME A HAND: If you have books you’re planning on reading or re-reading in 2018 that aren’t on my list and would highly recommend, please (I beg!) let me know, and I may add them to this list!

  1. Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried reading Redeeming Love a few weeks ago and I couldn’t make it past the prologue. It was too sad for me and I felt convicted that there were other things that would be better use of my time than reading the book. I know so many enjoyed this book based on the Amazon reviews. On the other hand, I love Total Money Makeover (a must read for any adult). Happy New Year!

  2. For children, I would recommend all of Ed Dunlop’s series. For adults, ” The Third Target”, by Joel C Rosenberg

    • Haha, Jane! The Third Target was on there, but I had to shorten it and removed a good many!! I LOVE great Books! Will just need to do another list 😀
      And I do have children’s lists, so will have to read some of Ed Dunlop’s writing!!! Thanks!
      Blessings!

  3. The Happiest People on Earth by Demos Shakarian
    Appointment in Jerusalem by Derek Prince
    Babsie – Go Teach My People by Babsie Bleasdell
    The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
    Prison to Praise by Merlin Carothers
    Which None Can Shut by Reema Goode
    Wow, God! by Sister Claire
    Sooo many others, but these are among my all time favorites!

  5. Thank you for such a great list! Especially for bringing the story of Rifqa Bary into my attention–I had never heard of her before! Will get her book!

    • It is so riveting and strengthening! I am glad you found it here, Johanna 😀 Happy New Year, friend!

  6. I loved reading This Life I Live by Rory Feek. I had never heard of Joey and Rory until I saw a Pray for Joey on someone’s Facebook. From then on I read their blog and it was the most beautiful love story I have ever read. They had something so very special.

    • I have been touched by their story, too, Charlotte! Can’t help but want to hug that little Indy! Stories like their help us so much with perspective when things are difficult in our lives! Happy New Year, dear friend!

    • Yes, Bobby, and really everything JIPacker wrote is very gripping! He and Tozer are 2 of my favorites for my faith walk!
      Thanks for adding it here! Happy New Year!

    • Lisa, I so agree! That’s why, even though some may think it redundant, I added it to this one 🙂 I even have 2 other posts on DR’s life and links to the book elsewhere 😀 Can’t have too much of a wonderful thing!
      Happy New Year!

  9. Thanks for the book list. I love seeing what other people’s favorite books are. Some of my favorites are included in the list but some others are:

    China Cry by Nora Lam — get the first edition, not the movie edition
    Trapped in Hitler’s Hell by Anita Dittman
    A Rose From the Ashes by Rose Price
    Chasing the Dragon by Jackie Pullinger
    The Agape Road by Bob Mumford
    If You Will Ask by Oswald Chambers
    A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot
    Anything that I have ever read that was written by Isabel Kuhn
    A Loving Life by Paul Miller
    Vanya by Myrna Grant

    I would also say there are a lot more. It’s fun to share lists. ?

    Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

    • THANK YOU, Amanda!! I am so glad to learn of these new titles and be reminded of Isabel Kuhn! I would be so thankful if you would consider taking a moment and sharing the others you know of so I can share them further! Wonderful! So important to be able to point to excellent reading material!
      Happy New Year!

  10. I Read Unholy Devotion in 2017 by Harold Busell. A good re-read is Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
    And, Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanegraaf.

  12. Our church library has many biographies from a series called “Christian Heroes: Then & Now” which we’ve been reading aloud at meal times for several months. These have been the favorites and when we finish one, the kids are quick to make sure they choose the next one to read right away!

    • Thank you, Katie! I have heard of them and know many other homeschool families that love them too!

  13. Hi Ms. Jacqueline! It has been a long time since I have commented, but I just can’t resist a booklist! 🙂

    A few on my favorites list are:

    Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot
    Mimosa by Amy Carmichael
    Kohila by Amy Carmichael
    John and Betty Stam: Missionary Martyrs by Mrs. Howard Taylor
    Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret by Dr and Mrs Howard Taylor
    Pastor Hsi: Confucian Scholar and Conqueror of Demons by Mrs. Howard Taylor
    Discpiline: The Glad Surrender by Elisabeth Elliot
    The King’s Gold by Elisabeth Cheney
    My Desire by Susan Warner
    Pink and White Tyranny by Harriet Beecher Stowe

    Just to name a few…

    I hope your 2018 is crowned with remarkable answers to prayer!
