I love to read, but man, I have had a TIME trying to read this year. Between the ages and needs of my kids and the, well, world, it’s been difficult to find time to be still, and then when I’m still, it’s hard to focus. Often the words seem to bounce around on the page, or fall off the page entirely and make a mess. So rude.

Nevertheless, I’ve truly benefited from the books I’ve read (or the many that I’m in the middle of)—particularly this little batch of Christian nonfiction. Each of these is a 2020 title, and it’s the kind of thing where the author, of course, had no idea the context to which her book would enter the world, and yet somehow, the content offered precise ministry to my 2020-weary heart.

If you’re looking for Christian nonfiction to minister to your 2020-weary heart, here are four recommendations for you. (Affiliate links used.)
