Favorite Reads from 2020

I read a bunch of books this year. Some of the books I read were rereads. Many of them were new to me. Here are my favorites from this year.

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
This is a fun retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice set in the Muslim community in Toronto.

The Things of Earth by Joe Rigney
This is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to live as a Christian and yet to live among the ordinary rhythms of life here on earth.

As Bright As Heaven by Susan Meissner
Set in Philadelphia during the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, this was interesting to read, especially during this year of covid.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi
Nabeel's story of his journey to finding Jesus was riveting and compelling.

Conscience by Andrew Naselli and J. D. Crowley
One of the best books I read this year (tied with the next one I've listed). It explores what our conscience is, how to train it, and how to interact with others that do not share the same convictions as we do.

Companions in Suffering by Wendy Alsup
The other best book I read this year. Wendy's approach to suffering is compassionate because she herself has joined the ranks of sufferers. This book explores the suffering of familiar Bible characters and what a right theology of suffering looks like. I can't recommend this book enough.


Any books you read in 2020 that you recommend? I'd love to hear your recommendations.
