My 2014 Top 5 "Top Reading Lists of 2014"

If you're like me, you've perhaps seen some "Top Reading Lists of 2014" floating around the internet and social media.  Rather than adding my own such list (which, honestly, I'm realistically not going to take the time to do this year), I figured this year I'd create my 2014 Top 5 "Top Reading Lists of 2014."   
In other words, check out these book lists and you'll find some books that are worth reading.  Of course, keep in mind that not every book is created equal, remember to read discerningly, and always remember that a careful and responsible reading of the Bible should be our final authority.  But I generally think these "sources" are worth listening to for some worthwhile reads (I know I'll hope to be reading many of these I've not yet!) - and to see what's current in publishing today.  

If you're still looking for some Christmas gift ideas or want some reading material for yourself while taking some vacation days, these lists can come in handy that way too!

Here are my top 5 "Top Reading Lists of 2014" - in no particular order:

• Christianity Today's 2015 Book Awards


• TGC [The Gospel Coalition] Staff Cite Best Books from 2014
