Our Best Books We Read For Our Enjoyment in 2019

'Tis the season for exhaustive lists of top- something or others from bloggers and podcasters everywhere. So, we're getting right down to business on this episode as we present to you our completely self-serving end-of-year book lists. Along the way, we also discuss:


When Aaron sounds most pretentious
How we rank Tim Keller’s books
The challenge of enjoying poetry
Our happiness about our friend Scarlet being okay after a health scare
What we thought about The Last Jedi

Aaron's favorites:


My Grandmother Told Me to Say She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman

The Prodigal Prophet by Timothy Keller

Afraid of All the Things by Scarlet Hiltibidal

Heroes in Crisis by Tom King & Clay Mann

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson


Barnabas' Favorites


Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

A Sever Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken

Two Funerals Then Easter by Rachel Joy Welcher

Proverbs: Wisdom that Works by Ray Ortlund 

The Son by Philipp Meyer


Dave's Favorites:


Educated by Tara Westover

On Desperate Ground by Hampton Sides

Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger

Confronting Christianity by Rebecca McLaughlin


While you're at Amazon (or wherever you buy your books), be sure to also pick up copies (and leave a 5-star review) of a few of the books by me (Aaron) and Barnabas, all of which make for great gifts and/or stocking stuffers:


Epic: The Story that Changed the World
Epic Devotions
Awaiting a Savior
Contend
The Curious Christian


Finally, be sure to grab a few bags of the Table of (mal)Contents blend by our friends at Lagares Coffee Roasters.
