12 Top Christian Book Reviewers

by Bob | Jan 11, 2012 | Book Review , Books , Challies , Discerning Reader | 9 comments

“How do you know whether a book is worth buying and reading?”

“A recommendation by someone you trust sure does help.”

I then linked you to my RPM Ministries Book Review site , plus provided direct links to nearly two dozen of my favorite book reviews.

What About Other Christian Book Reviewers?  

There are many excellent Christian book reviewers on the Net. So, today I’m linking you to folks whose reviews I always benefit from—even when I don’t always agree with 100% of their review.

All of these folks do much more on their blogs than review books.

By the way, “Christian book reviewers” means a Christian who reviews books from a Christian worldview. This is different from focusing on reviews of Christian books from any perspective. Ponder that one…

My Dozen Favorite Christian Book Reviewers

In alphabetical order, my 12 top Christian book reviewers…

• Thabiti Anyabwile : Articulate, courageous, informed and informing…

• Aaron Armstrong : Theologically-astute, fair, focused, challenging, stretching…

• Tim Challies : Discerning, prolific, quality and quantity, a “Berean” mindset…

• Nathaniel Claiborne : Fearless, pointed, thorough, engaging…

• Brian Croft : Pastoral…clear recommendations, a shepherd’s heart, encouraging, to the point…

• Kevin DeYoung : Robust, blending pastoral ministry and theology, well-spoken, insightful…

• Brad Hambrick : Detailed, generous, practical, focused on life change…

• David Murray : Enjoyable, comprehensive, seeing with new eyes, thinking outside the box, articulate…

• Andy Naselli : Robust, theological, cutting-edge…

• Paul Tautges : Pastoral, practical, gracious, speaking the truth in love…

• Justin Taylor : Well-spoken, focused, deep, clear, doesn’t waste words…

• Trevin Wax : Enlightening, edifiying, instructive, profound… 

Bonus Feature: My Three Favorite Christian Book Review Sites

In addition to individual book reviewers, I recommend the following three Christian book review sites (listed alphabetically).

• The Biblical Counseling Coalition’s Book Review Site : Over a dozen book reviewers provide book reviews, author interviews, and book video trailers. Visit the BCC’s Book Review Site for reviews of books related to biblical counseling, pastoral ministry, marriage, parenting, and Christian living.

• The Discerning Reader Book Review Site : Originally launched by Tim Challies and now directed by Mark Tubbs, Discerning Reader is a leader in Christian book reviews. Find out for yourself here . 

• The Gospel Coalition Book Review Site : TGCR provides robust reviews on a wide variety of topics. Read TGCR reviews here  for an Evangelical Christian perspective on books in the news.

Which of these reviewers do you read and enjoy? What additional Christian book reviewers would you add to this list? Why?

RPM Ministries: Equipping You to Change Lives with Christ’s Changeless Truth

Thank you for mentioning Discerning Reader in the group section, Bob. Looks like I’ve got some work to do to appear in your A-list, though! 🙂

That’s not an “A” List and a “B” List. It’s an Individual List and a Group List. You and Discerning Reader are an “A List Group Book Review Site!

Thanks for the encouragement, Bob. My plans are to go individual within a few months…DiscerningLeader.com is on its way.

You should check out More Than A Review too. It’s more entertainment than theological based but it aims to help readers avoid unexpected undesirable offensive content (like sex, violence and drugs). The website has a rating system based on a number of criteria so it’s not just about rating the book in a typical way. You can check it out here: http://www.morethanareview.com .

I’d love to see a list of Christian fiction reviewers. I would humbly add my blog to the list, though I don’t do any contemporary books.

Challies is one of my favorites, hand’s down. I would like to submit my site though, it is still developing, we only have small handful of book reviews. Nonetheless, we are now able to produce 2 reviews a month, so hopefully some people will find this helpful. We just published one today on R. C. Sproul’s book, The Prince’s Poison Cup. I hope you all find it helpful.

I recently published a non-fiction book and am looking for some free reviews…Do you know anyone who would be willing to do it? I’d email a copy, of course.

Thanks for sharing this list of the best Christian books around. I’m really growing my collection of books currently consisting of works by Keion Henderson, https://www.keionhenderson.com/books/ and other noteworthy Christian authors. It’s really been my source of spiritual enlightenment specially during this time of the pandemic.

Thank you for sharing this profound article! God Bless You! https://sdahymnalsongs.com/Hymnal/
