Christian Books that Matter...

 

Book Reviews



The main aim of this website is to provide quality Christian Book Reviews of excellent, and true books. We will only review those books that we believe are trustworthy, and therefore you won't find a negative review on BookDisciple! Take some time to read our reviews, but be sure to go on and read the books themselves. Who knows... God might just get your life more in-line with his purposes if you read one of these books.

An update...

Wondering why this blog is quiet? I'm hard at work with two of my own writing projects on mysticism and the Christian mystics... Come pay me a visit there:

NeoMysticism.com

ReMystic.com

Basically, the aim of my work there is to help people to get back to an authentic inner experience of God, leading to authentic fruit and action in the world.

Christian Book Reviews
Written by Dries Cronje

Here you will find a listing of the main categories of Christian Book Reviews currently available on BookDisciple. Reviewing and recommending the top Christian books available today is the main aim of this website…


So, this is where the paper meets the hand! Okay, okay, maybe ‘the rubber meets the road’ still sounds better.


Why write Christian Book Reviews? I write these reviews to help visitors of BookDisciple avoid reading material that will waste their time or mislead them. I also hope to encourage people to read good quality Christian books more often, and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ in the process.


God has transformed my life through the books I discovered and read. He can do the same for you…


Not all books I read make this list. Fortunately, a decent percentage does, so maybe the amount of bad books ‘out there’ is not as bad as I feared. Those Christian Publishers have impressive filtering systems…


I do not even want you to be reading Christian Book Reviews on bad books – that is enough of a waste of time. I would much rather try and keep up with the high number of excellent new books released each year. It annoys me to spend a good couple of days to read something, and then have nothing to write about…


Shouldn’t I warn you about bad misleading books? I guess you can say that, but I do not want to criticize or judge any of Christ’s followers. God will do that. It is a bad testament to Christianity when those outside the faith (with their surprisingly impressive Bible knowledge) see us Christians disagree and argue with each other instead of loving one another as Jesus tells us to.


We should rather focus our energy on the positive, love and respect our neighbors, and change the world! Real Pinky and the Brain stuff… Oops, no! They wanted to take over the world, right? We just want to love and change the world...


Part of the discernment I use to decide which books I should read and review is to listen to trusted friends in ministry, look at those books that trustworthy authors refer to, and to read books winning book awards from reputable Christian magazines and organizations.


I also try and read books by authors I already know and trust, and look for endorsements by such authors on new books by authors I am not familiar with. All this leads me to read and review the better books in publication.


Below is a list of the categories of Christian books that I review here. Please select a category and start reading...


Enjoy reading the Christian Book Reviews! I hope it will inspire you to read some of these life-changing books. That’s even more fun than reading the reviews.
