Set Me Free: The Good News Of God’s Relentless Pursuit by Lecrae

After selling more than three million albums and packing out tons of venues, Christian Hip-Hop recording artist Lecrae found himself striving to gain approval. He wanted to prove that he was good enough to be onstage. He wanted to prove that he was worthy to be called a child of God. He wanted to prove that he was indeed a representative of Jesus Christ. And then, everything changed. 

Based on his life experiences, Lecrae gives us authenticity through poems and essay reflections that stand up to the religious narrative seeking to exclude individuals who follow Jesus while having questions. Set Me Free: The Good News Of God’s Relentless Pursuit is the ideal read for those just trying to figure it out. 

When Churches Attack: Surviving The Ministry Holocaust by Tamberlyn Thompson-Brown

We have heard it before in the news. A pastor, burned out from the weight of ministry, does the unthinkable. Oftentimes, we wonder what pushed him or her over the edge. What if we got real about ministry, though?

In When Churches Attack: Surviving The Ministry Holocaust, Tamberlyn Thompson-Brown highlights the silent battles ministers face and provides a way to overcome them that does not include leaving the call to clergy altogether. This book could be a great read for pastors and other ministry leaders who are ringing in the new year on empty. 

The Fault Between Us by Stephanie Landsem 

Claire, Bridget, and Frannie Reilly were raised by their father and once had a strong bond. The union was broken, however, when Claire married a handsome cowboy and moves West to start a family with him. Struggling with finances and a new baby, the new bride believes everything will be fine so long as her father and sisters stay out of her affairs. 

Unfortunately for Claire, her sister, Bridget, takes a nursing assignment out West and has plans to stop in and check on her sister. Frannie, the wild one of the bunch, tags along for what she believes will be quite the adventure. Family tensions rise just in time for a natural disaster that rips through the Yellowstone community and tests the true bonds of sisterhood. 

Based on true events of the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake, The Fault Between Us by Stephanie Landsem is a historical fiction book written for those who love family drama.
