It's the third weekend of January. Time to check in on those New Year's resolutions. Is your local gym still crowded or is it starting to thin out already? 

Whether or not you make annual resolutions, I hope you are making time to read. And yes, audiobooks count. I recently put together a list of reading suggestions for my church, and thought it was worth sharing with a wider audience. 

What are you planning to read in 2024? What were your favorites from 2023? Hit reply and share that with me. I always love good reading recommendations in any genre. 

Bible Study
Bible reading plans are so helpful, and reading God's Word should take the primary spot on our reading list. However, a book on how to read and understand God's Word might be a great help for you this year. Here are some good ones: 
Living By the Book - Howard Hendricks
Women of the Word - Jen Wilkin
Read This First - Gary Millar

The Classics
Adding one of the classics to your list is always a good idea. Re-reading a classic works too. Here are a a few to consider: 
Knowing God - J.I. Packer
Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis
Desiring God - John Piper
The Cross of Christ - John Stott

Personal Growth and Devotionals
New Morning Mercies - Paul Tripp - my all-time favorite devo
Disciplines of a Godly Man - Kent Hughes
In His Image - Jen Wilkin

Family Discipleship
Family Worship - Donald Whitney
Family Discipleship - Matt Chandler
Long Story Short - Marty Machowski
Old Story New - Marty Machowski

Missions-focused books
Let the Nations Be Glad - John Piper
To the Golden Shore - Courtney Anderson

Bonus - Some favorite and timely recs
The Wingfeather Saga - Andrew Peterson - fantasy fiction greatness
Prodigal God - Tim Keller
Relationships: A Mess Worth Making - Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp
Just Do Something - Kevin DeYoung (knowing God's will for your life)
Filling Up the Afflictions of Christ - John Piper (missionary biographies)
The Boys in the Boat - Daniel Brown - movie is good; the book is better

Ok, what did I leave off? Did your favorite book/author get snubbed? Comment and let me know. 

I hope this helps you a little as you plan out your reading for 2024 and beyond. We are excited for the year ahead of us at iGo, and we are thankful for you and our entire iGosian family.
