What Are The Benefits of Reading Christian Books
There are several benefits of reading books, but today I want to look at some of the benefits of reading Christian books. Here are a few:
Christian books help to strengthen your faith in God
Some authors tend to share their testimonies and the lessons they have learned while walking with the Lord. They also help you to understand the Bible on a deeper level so that you can really apply its principles. Christian books can even help you to make mindset shifts that take you from a place of doubt and worry to an unwavering commitment to the Lord.
They can help you in evangelism and discipleship
Have you ever wanted to share the Gospel, disciple or mentor someone but you weren’t sure how to do so? Well, books can give you the knowledge and guidance you need for evangelism and discipleship. Authors tend to ensure that the books are methodical so you can follow step-by-step.
Christian books can help you navigate various seasons of your life from a Biblical standpoint
There are many authors with various backgrounds and challenges. So there is a book for almost every topic, season, and challenge you can think of. If you’re dealing with doubt, singleness, dating, debt or finding your purpose, you can find a book that will give you Biblical advice.
They can help you make better decisions
As I said before, these authors often share mistakes and the lessons that they learned. Sometimes they give you practical tips and guidance to help you avoid making similar mistakes.
Let’s look at some Christian books that can help strengthen your faith, guide you during singleness and relationships and help you with personal growth.

Christian Books to Strengthen Your Faith
Here are some Christian books that I highly recommend if you want to anchor your faith in the Lord.
1) The Amplified Study Bible
The first book on this list is the Bible. If you want to strengthen your faith in God, you have to read the Bible; that’s how you’re going to learn about Him, His ways, and learn how to trust Him.
So, before you read any other Christian boo,k you need to know what’s written in the Word of God. The Bible is going to help you know if these Christian authors are giving you information and advice from a Biblical standpoint.
You can use any Bible but I am recommending the Amplified Study Bible because it helps you to have a deeper understanding of the Word.
It gives you notes that will help you to understand the context and apply the principles that you are learning.
One of the things that I loved about reading the Amplified Study Bible is that it helped me to pick up on things that I would have otherwise missed.
This is the Bible that I used when I was reading through the entire Bible.

2) The Purple Book: Biblical Foundations for Building Strong Disciples
The next book on this list is The Purple Book.
I know the name is is not what you would probably expect but I absolutely recommend this book especially for new believers. It’s also great if you want to have a stronger foundation in the Lord.
I read this book many years after I got baptised, and I learned so much.
Even though I was a Christian for a while, there were still some biblical foundations that I did not know. I learned them while going through this book, so I highly recommend this if you want to learn the foundational truths of Christianity.
It is also great if you are someone who evangelises or disciples others. You can use this book as a guide.
It’s like a workbook so you can also use it during your devotional time. It encourages you to read the Bible for yourself and write what you are learning.
This book covers topics such as:
- Sin and salvation
- Repentance and baptism
- Prayer and worship
- Resurrection and the judgment
This is also a good gift idea if you have friends or church members who are new believers.

3) I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
I know that this title can be a turn-off for some people, while it might intrigue others.
But let me tell you…. this is an amazing book.
It’s definitely a book that you need to read especially if you have doubts about Christianity or if you ever wondered if God exists. It will help to remove those doubts.
One of the interesting things about this book is that it does not have any Bible verses. The authors did not use Bible verses to convince people of God’s existence. Instead, they used scientific facts and logic.
If you know someone who is an atheist or agnostic, you can share this book with them because more than likely, they won’t feel like they’re being bombarded with scriptures from a particular religion.
This book is also great for those who want to learn more about Christian apologetics. I think every believer should read it. You should never have blind faith. You should know why you believe what you believe.
This is also a good book for evangelism. I have used information I gained from this book when I am evangelising to agnostics.

4) Happy Lies
The next book on this list is Happy Lies, and it is written by a YouTuber called Melissa.
If you follow Melissa, you would have already known about this book and that it can help those who are interested in Christian Apologetics (defending the faith).
I don’t know if you are aware of New Age and New Thought. They are very popular in our society and their teaching have even crept into the church. Their teachings are a false gospel and go against the Bible.
So it is very important that you are able to recognise them. This book will help you to realise when you’re being taught from a New Age or New Thought perspective instead of the Bible.
This is one of the books that will help you with discernment, and it can also help you in evangelism if you’re into that

Christian Books About Singleness and Relationships

5) The Unexpected Gift, God’s Biblical Perspective: God’s Biblical Perspective on Singleness
This book is not just about singleness. It is also about identity, purpose and worshipping God. One of the things I like about this book is that she shares stories from single Christian women in each chapter. These stories are quite relatable, insightful, inspiring, and impactful.
She also shares her story as a single woman and the challenges that she faces.

I believe that this book is well-written. It really captures your attention from the first chapter with fitting stories.

This book is about marriage, and it challenges readers to think about the purpose of marriage. The author challenges readers to consider “what if God did not create marriage to make you happy but to make you holy.”
This book shows you how marriage can be a sanctification tool in the hands of the Lord.
Typically, people believe that they have to be single to be completely devoted and consecrated to the Lord. But the author shows how marriage can help you with character development and to become more like the Lord.
