Christmas is less than three weeks away (!!), and that means many of us are thinking through what to buy for others in our lives. If you're looking for ideas for the "reader" you know, here are six accessible suggestions based on books I've read and recommend, or books that are very much on my radar screen to read soon.

Most of these suggestions have been recently published (in the last 2-3 years) and will be linked to an Amazon page where you can learn more. You'll see they're listed under 6 categories that I try and stay loosely tethered to:

Bible & Theology

Picture
Bible Matters: Making Sense of Scripture (by Tim Chester)

Discipleship

Picture
The Gift of Being Yourself: The Sacred Call to Self-Discovery (by David G. Benner)

Ministry

Picture
The God Who Goes Before You: Pastoral Leadership as Christ-Centered Followership (by Michael S. Wilder and Timothy Paul Jones)

Culture

Picture
iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy - and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. And What that Means for the Rest of Us (by Jean Twenge)

Leadership

Picture
The Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate the Three Essential Virtues (by Patrick Lencioni)

History

Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World (Eric Metaxas)

What other books (in any of these categories listed above) would you suggest people consider? List 'em here!
