Hey Gems!!! Happy New Year Ladies (and Gents if you're reading)!!!! 2020 is HERE!!!
Today we are talking all about the Faith Reads read-a-thon for this month! I am so excited about this read-a-thon with you ladies!!!
This post is on my TBR picks for the prompts. Check out my IG to see my photos for the photo challenges.
Now let's get into my book picks for each prompt!
1) Read a book based on a well-known biblical person.
♥ Iscariot by Tosca Lee. I'm going with this book because we all know who Judas is -- the betrayer of Jesus. I want to read about him to make him seem more human than I believe he is. Both Judas and Peter were sifted by the enemy. Peter however didn't fall, but Judas did and Jesus knew it. I'm interested in seeing if this can "redeem" Judas in my eyes. Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle | Audible
2) Read a book based on a lesser-known biblical person.
♥ Zipporah, Wife of Moses by Marek Halter. The wife of Moses only mentioned once in Exodus (or maybe twice). Outside of her being the wife Moses and one of Jethro's daughters I don't know much about her. I'm curious to learn more about she was and see her thoughts on Moses and his ministry. Paperback | Kindle | Hardcover | Audible
3) Read a book with a title based on a book from the Bible.
♥ 31 Proverbs to Light Your Path by Liz Curtis Higgs. This is obvious as the book has Proverbs in it. This will be my devotional reading for the month of January as it focuses on various scriptures from Proverbs. Hardcover | Kindle | Audible
♥ Thief of Corinth by Tessa Afshar. This is based on Corinth which is titled 1 & 2 Corinthians in the Bible. I have read this book about two-three times already and want to try and re-read it to see if it can get a 5 star rating from me. This is the only book from Tessa Afshar that I have given a 4 star rating too. Paperback | Kindle | Hardcover | Audible
4) Read a Christian non-fiction.
♥ Calling and Separation by Bob Yandin. I purchased this book while at a leadership conference he spoke at. I got two of his books because I loved the way he taught the Word and was down-to-earth. I'm interested in this book and hopefully reading his other books as well. Paperback | Kindle
5) Read a book about good vs evil.
♥ Mind Games by Nancy Mehl. This is a romantic suspense that deals with BAU and FBI so I figured they were the good ones while we have a serial killer that's evil. Plain and simple lol. Paperback | Kindle | Hardcover | Audible
6) Read & rate a 5 star prediction.
For this I'm going with Iscariot by Tosca Lee, Left Behind by Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins, Mind Games by Nancy Mehl, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and finally Calling & Separation by Pastor Bob Yandin. I'm hopeful for these to be 5 star ratings (fingers crossed).
7) Read a Christian fiction that is not biblical.
♥ Mind Games by Nancy Mehl. This is romantic suspense!
♥ American Omens by Travis Thrasher. This is a sci-fi dystopian world set in the future. Paperback | Kindle
8) Read a book that has one of nine fruits of the spirit in the title.
♥ Nine Fruits of the Spirit: Love by Robert Strand. This was a HARD one to figure out -- lol. I decided to "cheat" and go with this devotional since it's focused on my word of the year. Full Set | Paperback | Hardcover
9) Read a Christian classic.
♥ Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. A classic from C.S. Lewis that has been on my list and after reading The Screwtape Letters I am very hopeful for another great read from him. Paperback | Hardcover | Kindle | Audible
10) Read a recommendation.
♥ Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. This book has been recommended to me SEVERAL times from many book lovers, so I'm finally going to give it a go! Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle | Audible
I may not get to all of these books, but I still plan to get through at least 5 of these for sure!! Are you planning to partake in the read-a-thon?! What are you going to be reading this month?
