Pray for wisdom and understanding before reading newly published Christian books. Find truth by following the instructions of 1 Thessalonians 5:21 to "Test all things; hold fast what is good". Look up the scriptures quoted in your reading materials, read preceding and following verses to be sure you understand the context, and read related scriptures. Learning about the church, spirituality, truth, morality, history, and life stories of other believers, keeps readers on the path to spiritual growth and a meaningful faith walk. Reading serves to educate, inspire, and encourage.
The Holy Bible is the number 1 best selling book of all time. It's available in a variety of translations. Many editions contain topical articles and study notes. Newly published study guides offer topical studies and and studies on individual books of the Bible with interpretation and historical context.
It's okay to enjoy reading while you're searching for spiritual truth and growth. Take a look at the fiction section. There's several novels available that deal with bible stories. Authors carefully stick to the original script, adding possible dialogue and private thoughts to explore emotional context and complexity. Historical context is brought to life in biblical fiction. Other novels focus on characters attempting to live out their faith in a conflicted world. An allegory is a story or poem that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning. It's a modern day parable.
If you're a new believer your focus should be an overview of scripture. Then you might want to read about everyday life - what it means to live life as a follower of Jesus. Evangelism guides expound on ways all of us can spread the gospel. Historical collections explain the background of biblical times and the history of the church. Biographies give a glimpse into the lives of the great teachers, preachers, evangelists, as well as the martyrs of the faith.
For daily reflection and meditation, look for a devotional, a collection of readings focusing on a biblical verse per day. A devotional is also a great starting place for family devotions. With family or alone, prayer and meditation is a great way to start the morning, gather with family, and/or end the day. It keeps you and your family focused on relationship and spiritual growth.
Look for books in the theology section if you want an in-depth understanding of God and God's relationship and interaction with the world. Believers are told "to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you." (1 Peter 3:15). To present a reasoned defense of your faith, look for books on apologetics.
Newly published Christian books can be found at bookstores and retail outlets, large and small, Christian and secular. They're also available at many online wholesale and retail outlets. Many churches have lending libraries, as does most every town and city.
So many to choose from, so little time. So how do you choose? Churches often have study groups that focus on newly published Christian books. Check Christian newsletters or magazines for reading list recommendations. If you have a favorite TV or radio preacher, most are also authors, regularly publishing new books. Online is a good place to find lists of books that are top sellers. Large stores will usually have a special section for newly published materials.
