The genre of Christian living books is designed to bridge the gap between the lessons of the Bible and the tribulations of modern-day Christian living. It is our job as Christians to live through Christ and adhere to the teachings of the Bible, even (or perhaps especially) in the context of our modern lives.
At Baker Book House, we offer a wide variety of Christian living books that guide Christians in how to live out their faith and how to carry God’s love into the next generation. Check out some of our best Christian living books. They are some of our staff favorites, and we guarantee you won’t want to put them down.
Whether healing from physical or emotional traumas, nothing brings us closer to God quite like a need for healing. The ability to turn to God in times of healing is a testament to our faith. Other forms of healing are good and often necessary, but it is through our relationship with Christ that we can also find spiritual healing and inner peace.
These books on Christian healing are a guide for finding sanctuary in Christ when we need Him most. They serve as a beacon of light for anyone going through heartbreak, depression, grief, or difficult changes.
It’s often in the little things that our lives are defined. Our habits shape us more than we care to admit. Books on spiritual disciplines give us small, everyday practices that can spark transformation in our lives.
Books that aid in our spiritual growth are the foundation of strength in our relationship with God. Spiritual disciplines are metaphorical workouts that build strength and endurance. We can’t expect to have solid faith without practice, just as we can’t expect to run a marathon without training.
Forgiveness is a challenging obstacle for any human being, but it is a vital element of the Christian faith. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus offers ultimate forgiveness for all who believe and follow him. As Christians, we know that as we have been forgiven our own debts, so we must “forgive our debtors,” as the Lord’s Prayer puts so eloquently.
For anyone dealing with overcoming the emotional impact of betrayal, deception, cruelty, dishonesty, or disappointment, these Christian books on forgiveness carve a path to tranquility and mercy. And for the times in which we ourselves have committed our own “trespasses,” these books offer a humbling invitation into repentance and reconciliation.
Hearing the stories of other Christians can help us grow in our devotion to God. The miracles He is capable of shine through in others’ stories of transformation and salvation. Life acts as a trial to us all, and the only way we can remain solid in our faith is to lean on one another for encouragement.
Our Christian testimony books spread the gospel and show us how Christianity can be exhibited through the modern daily lives of people just like us. The relatable struggles others find themselves in give us strength and serve as a map to navigating our own situations.
Substance abuse is a serious addiction that requires medical help, but the Christian faith can serve as a comfort and guide through the tumultuous road to healing. When seeking professional help for substance issues, don’t forget to reach out to Christ as well. Sobriety is a journey you don’t have to brave alone.
These books about Christian sober living show us how to turn to God for support and forgiveness in our struggles. Those of us who are fighting addiction can lean on God, and He will understand our battle. There is no challenge in the world that He is not strong enough to help us overcome.
Being in a position of leadership comes with a significant dose of responsibility. As Christians, we are expected to be leaders of others to the example of Christ’s life. Much like a shepherd protects his sheep, and Jesus protects us, we are called to spread the word of God and lead others to salvation.
Whether leading in a position in the church or in your professional life, it’s important to converse with God and allow Him to lead through you. Our Christian leadership books teach the importance of placing everything in God’s hands. Leadership positions are a lot of pressure, and we can always turn to God for guidance and advice as we make difficult decisions that impact our lives and the lives of others.
As Christians, we have to be wary of the dangerous pitfalls of hypocrisy. We cannot preach honesty one moment and engage in deception the next. Those who surround us look to Christians in their daily lives as an example of the faith they follow. We cannot be a shining example of Christ’s love to those around us if we are not living in an honorable manner.
Our books about living as a Christian remind readers of the importance of biblical living and being a beacon of kindness, forgiveness, and discipline. While it can be difficult to adhere to God’s Word in this modern world, it is essential that we remain strong in our beliefs and stand our ground.
Parents are responsible for shaping a child’s value system and the way they interact with the world. There are many heavy decisions to make as a parent, and trying to raise our children to know Christ can be another challenge added to the duties of parenting.
Christian parenting books are an excellent guide for raising the next generation of believers. Even parents don’t have all the answers, and that is why Christ’s teachings enlighten us on how to raise children through the lens of God’s love.
