One of my life-long goals is to read an average of one book a month… And I have my book club to thank for keeping me on track! Here’s what I read in 2015:
These three were absolutely extraordinary:
Epic of Eden by Sandra Richter (Old Testament theology)
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi (Muslim intellectual encounters Jesus)
The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller (marriage)
The rest of the list (alphabetical):
Boys in the Boat by Daniel Brown (Olympic rowing team)
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent (Iceland, murder mystery)
Counting by 7’s by Holly Sloan (Young adult, brilliant child in foster care)
Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers (women in the genealogy of Christ)
Lord, Is It Warfare? Teach Me to Stand by Kay Arthur (Ephesians, spiritual warfare)
Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman (autobiography that inspired the prison series)
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline (American orphans 1800s)
Return of the Prodigal by Henri Nouwen (analysis of the prodigal son parable)
The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst (life management)
The Strategy of Satan by Warren Wiersbe (my fall teaching topic)
Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks (England, plague in the middle ages)
Did you have a favorite book in 2015? I’d love to hear about it!

One of my favorite reads this year was “Life and Death in Shanghai”. Excellent read and a biography written by a lady who went through the cultural revolution in China.
Happy New Year!
That was required reading in my international economics class many years ago… Great book!
I read three memoirs last year. Also read Perry Stone’s “There’s a crack in your Armor.” & “The Three Heavens.”
I learned the most from Stone but CeeCee James memoir was the most well written. It is heart breaking and a difficult read but I related to it & what I needed to start mine.
Thanks! Good ideas, I like memoirs.
You’re welcome
It was very good, but you have to be ready to read about both darkness & redemption.
