Another week brings another opportunity to finish a book or two. This week’s book recommendations focus on poetry, evangelism, and politics. One author seeks to put the Great Commission of Jesus Christ into action. Another presents a fictitious perspective of Capitol Hill that some would say isn’t so false after all. And there is always room for a bit of poetry. This is especially true during National Poetry Month! Consider adding these books to your TBR pile.
The Hopefuls by Jennifer Close
Matt has the political itch and Beth is here to help him meet his goals. Never mind that she hates everything about Washington, D.C. Beth wants to own the role of supportive wife. But what happens when jealousy shows up after a charismatic man named Jimmy takes the Capitol by storm? Will Beth and Matt be able to navigate the political sphere and save their marriage? Jennifer Close creates a funny yet dramatic tale in The Hopefuls.
Fog and Smoke by Katie Peterson
Raising a child during the pandemic may be compared by some to driving through fog and dealing with smoke. In Fog and Smoke, Katie Peterson uses the natural elements around her to describe the conditions in society and her personal life. This poetry collection will challenge the reader to look beyond the superficial and into the effects of a changing world.
Run Your Race by Chris Donald
The Great Commission has not changed. Every Christian is called to witness to nonbelievers and disciple new believers. In Run Your Race, Chris Donald offers keys for Christians looking to grow in evangelism. Those who read Belong by Donald will likely appreciate this book.
